"Boys are boys from the beginning, girls are girls right from the start. Everybody's fancy, Everybody's fine. Your body's fancy and so is mine," the lyrics state.
"Girls grow up to be the mommies, boys grow up to be the daddies. Everybody's fancy, Everybody's fine. Your body's fancy and so is mine," the following section added.

Rogers also talked about the song during an interview years ago with late-night host Johnny Carson.
"And you know, we laugh about that now, but it's because we had that concern when we were little," Rogers said during the interview.
The clip concluded with Carson ribbing Rogers, saying, "Yeah, because you're really not sure and you thought maybe you'd become a girl, or a girl would become a boy, right?" Rogers responded, "Exactly."
Mister Rogers knew something way back in 1980 and tried to warn us. We laughed at him because we thought what he said was silly and nonsense.
