lyrics

Come on everybody let's make some music
It's so easy to do
You don't need much to make some magic
Just grab a friend or two
Would you like to make some music with us? yeah!
Hey can I ask you do you have a mouth?
If you said yes then you can't back out, no
Just take a deep breath
And let it all out
We're singing lalalala, mama and other vocal sounds
Do you know that your body is a drum?
Find your hands and let's have some fun
Can you find your hands?
Yay, you found them.
So clap your hands, and stomp your feet, and pound your chest and play to the beat.
And stomp your feet, and clap your hands, and pound your chest
Now you're in the band!
Any old thing can make a sound
If you use it right, if you move it around.
Look to the sky and look at the ground,
Hey can you tell me what have you found
Hey can you tell me what have you found
Look around is there anything that you see that can make a sound?
I found some Legos, I found some shells, I found some sprinkles.
Now you may want to write some words.
They can be serious or they can be absurd
It can about a moon, it can be about a bird
It can be about something that you've never ever heard
It can be about something that you've never ever heard
What do you want to write a song about?
I want to write a song about joy, and cake
I want to write a song about hippopotamuses
I want to write a song about unicorns
And the things that make me happy, sad and mad and everything
Listen to our beautiful song,
Everybody's playing along
It wasn't right
And it sure wasn't wrong
It was so easy and it didn't take long
It was so easy and it didn't take long
Come on everybody let's make some music,
It's so easy to do
You don't need much to make some magic,
Just grab a friend or two
Just grab a friend or two.
