Another one of those quirky songs the "Brothers Gibb" were known for in their early days.
This particular one seems to involve a fictitious children's character who seemingly echos the wishes of the parents.
To most children parents represent authority and worldly knowledge, but not friendship like what they have among their peers and siblings.
And kids also have fantasy heroes from storybooks, comics and cartoons.
So, invent a storybook character hero the kid can believe in and cunningly have his words and advice "coincidentally" align with the similar ones of the parents.
Anyway, that's how the lyrics come across to me.
