Arthur Gordon "Art" Linkletter (born Gordon Arthur Kelly, July 17, 1912 – May 26, 2010) was a Canadian-born American radio and television personality. He was the host of House Party, which ran on CBS radio and television for 25 years, and People Are Funny, on NBC radio and TV for 19 years.
Linkletter was famous for interviewing children on House Party and Kids Say the Darndest Things, which led to a series of books quoting children. He became a naturalized United States citizen in 1942.
Linkletter was born Gordon Arthur Kelly in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. In his autobiography, Confessions of a Happy Man (1960), he revealed that he had no contact with his natural parents or his sister or two brothers since he was abandoned when only a few weeks old. He was adopted by Mary (née Metzler) and Fulton John Linkletter, an evangelical preacher.
When he was five, his family moved to San Diego, California, where he graduated from San Diego High School at age 16. During the early years of the Great Depression, he rode trains around the country doing odd jobs and meeting a wide variety of people. In 1934, he earned a bachelor's degree from San Diego State Teachers College (now San Diego State University), where he was a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. While attending San Diego State, he played for the basketball team and was a member of the swimming team. He had previously planned to attend Springfield College but did not for financial reasons.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man!
(Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,)
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
(Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,)
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship,
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to
grip,
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
To be wanderin'.
(Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,)
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way,
I promise to go under it.
(Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,)
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
(Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,)
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
(Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,)
Mr. Tambourine Man
Mr. Tambourine Man
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man
