The Lyrics
Who can ever forget rich, short-statured Quincy Magoo who refuses to deal with his nearsightedness? His stubborn willfulness gets him into trouble about town, but somehow things always seem to work out, Magoo no worse for the wear. He constantly is wondering what his nephew Waldo and Presley are up to and gives his houseboy Cholly (sterotypical Chinese) a bad time. But Magoo has a good heart, even if he is unwilling to get help. A loveable character from UPA Animation since the late '40s. Voiced by Jim Backus.
Poor old Mr. Magoo
nearly blind!
Eyesight makes him look like a fool
He’s nearsighted
And always fightin’
The masses can’t stand it
Chaos around town
Magoo behaves badly
Running into things, knocking things down
Poor old Mr. Magoo
nearly blind!
Pays no mind…
Where’s Waldo?
Where’s Waldo?
Where’s Waldo?
Magoo’s absent nephew
He’s never there
Just houseboy Cholly
Who seems confused
Hee, Hee, Hee
Poor old Mr. Magoo
nearly blind!
(“What‘ll they be up to next? Waldo and Presley“)
"Oh Magoo, you've done it again!"

One of my earliest TV memories was the Mr. Magoo version of "A Christmas Carol."
What POP said! That was my favoritist Christmas show ever! I know I watched 'regular' Mr. Magoo every once in awhile, but cannot really recall it.
