I Found You
Caspar Babypants Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Starin' at a heron
Down by the edge of the bay
I found Myrtle
Sittin' with her turtle
Lyin' on the levee all day
I found Alice
Skippin' round the palace
I found Bobby
In the hobby lobby
Buyin' a model boat
I found you, I found you
Two times two is four
I found you, I found you
Now let's go find some more
I found Sally
In eyesore alley
Walkin' her crocodile
I found Augie
With his doggie
Walkin' a summer mile
Who are you
What do you do
Tell me, tell me please
Lost and found
In the farm and town
That's where you'll find me
I found you, I found you
Been lookin' all the live long day
I found you, I found you
You now don't you go away
I found you
No one else will do
This I know is true
And true is two
Just you and me and me and you
I found Doug
Sleppin' with a slug
Happy as a little clam
I found Mertyle
Wearin' fancy pearls
Lookin' all glitz and glam
Who are you
What do you do
Tell me, tell me please
Lost and found
In the farm and town
That's where you'll find me
I found you, I found you
Two times two is four
I found you, I found you
Now let's go find some more
I found you, I found you
Been lookin' all the live long day
I found you, I found you
Now don't you go away
"I Found You" by Caspar Babypants is a joyful and playful song about discovering and connecting with people and animals in unexpected places. The song is essentially a catalog of characters, each with their own unique traits and quirks, that Caspar has found in various locations such as the bay, the levee, the palace, the hobby lobby, and even in eyesore alley. Some are just animals, like Myrtle and her turtle, or Doug and his slug, while others are people like Sharon, Bobby, and Augie who are doing their own things, whether it's staring at a heron or walking a summer mile with their doggie.
Despite their differences, the common thread among all these characters is that they have been found by Caspar, and now they are a part of his world. The chorus, "I found you, I found you, two times two is four, I found you, I found you, now let's go find some more" expresses Caspar's delight in discovering new things and people and his enthusiasm for continuing to explore and connect with the world around him. The song can be read as a celebration of the power of curiosity and empathy to bring people together and create a sense of community.
Overall, "I Found You" is a lighthearted, catchy, and whimsical song that encourages us to embrace our sense of wonder and adventurous spirit and to be open to the unexpected connections and surprises that life can bring.
