Current Goal

Bill's goal is go to Washington D.C. and sit on the steps of Capitol Hill and become a LAW someday!

I'm just a bill.
Yes, I'm only a bill.
And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill.
Well, it's a long, long journey
To the capital city.
It's a long, long wait
While I'm sitting in committee,
But I know I'll be a law some day
At least I hope and pray that I will
But today I am still just a bill.

About This Item

Bill and Kid

Schoolhouse Rock started as a small idea sparked in 1971 when ad executive David McCall's son had trouble remembering his multiplication tables. Colleagues George Newall and Thomas Yohe, helped bring the idea to life with music and animation.
With the help of Michael Eisner (who worked for ABC at the time), Schoolhouse Rock was born and many of us had an easier time with math, english, history and science because of it.

With it's clever cartoons and wonderful jazz-y soundtracks, Schoolhouse Rock went on to win four Emmy Awards, one of which was for "I'm Just a Bill"

I'M JUST A BILL
First Aired: 1975
Lyrics & Music: Dave Frishberg
Performed by: Jack Sheldon and his young son John
Designed by: Tom Yohe
Animation by: Phil Kimmelman and Associates

Retrieve It from a Cache 9/3/2005 Hours together retrieved it from Rochester International Travel Bug Terminal New York   Visit Log

We picked up this interesting travel bug and will get him on his way as soon as possible. It seems there is a similarity in the time it is getting him to Washington, DC and the amount of time it takes to get a bill passed.

This guy is going in circles. I'll drop him in a well travelled area to help him along. (I wish I had him last year when we visited our nation's capital!)
