1N 1957, WHEN I WAS FIVE
I WAS ALMOST KNEE HIGH
I SAW A DARK MAN ON TV -
HE WAS HANDSOME AS A MAN CAN BE.
HIS NAME WAS GUY WILLIAMS
HE WAS ONE IN A MILLION.
HE WORE A MUSTACHE - MY HE WAS FAST!
ASTRIDE HIS BIG STEED BLACK.
EVIL HE WOULD ATTACK;
HE RODE AT NIGHT, 'TWAS A POWERFUL SIGHT.
HIS NAME WAS GUY WILLIAMS
HE WAS ONE IN A MILLION.
IN 1958, I DEEPLY SIGH
AS ZORRO WOULD ARRIVE.
CALLED 'THE FOX' HE WOULD ALWAYS FIGHT
BAD MEN UNDER THE COVER OF NIGHT.
HIS NAME WAS GUY WILLIAMS
HE WAS ONE IN A MILLION.
IN 1959, THE TIME CAME NIGH
WHEN FOUL EVIL WOULD TRY,
TO OUTSMART THE MAN IN BLACK
BY HIS KEEN WIT WOULD HE ALL ENTRAP.
HIS NAME WAS GUY WILLIAMS
HE WAS ONE IN A MILLION.
SOON I GREW UP - I FORGOT HIS FAME
REMEMBER COULD NOT I HIS NAME.
IN 1999, FOUND HIM AGAIN I DID
ON LATE NIGHT TV NEVER AGAIN TO BE HID.
HIS NAME WAS GUY WILLIAMS
HE WAS ONE IN A MILLION.
WHEN I SEE A BLACK STORMY NIGHT
I LOOK FOR THAT ONE TRUE SIGHT -
A DARK MAN ON A DARK HORSE,
BLACK TORNADO'S HIS NAME OF COURSE.
HIS MASTER WAS GUY WILLIAMS
HE WAS AND IS ONE IN A MILLION!
