I was sitting in my living room watching TV
All the sitcoms and commercials made me so sleepy
Saw the sun through the window, heard the birds in the tree
“Tweet tweet tweet”, they were calling to me.
“It’s a beautiful day.” They said, “Come out an’ play!
You got a big imagination, let me hear you say”

Why sit inside when you can
Get on your bicycle
Roll up on your tricycle
Dance down the street.

It’s got a beat.  Jump to your feet, GO!

Riding in the back seat, feeling out of place
All the honking and the traffic, all the smog in my face
What’s a kid to do stuck here in the car
I wanna get home so I can play in the yard
It’s a beautiful day, I gotta get out and play
I got a big imagination and I’m here to say

Why take the car when you can,
Get on your bicycle
Roll up on your tricycle
Dance down the street

It’s got a beat.  Just use your feet, HIT IT!

Where should we go?
Let’s sit on the lawn
Knock on our friends’ door
You know it won’t take long
Go to the playground
Go to the beach
Go to your local contemporary museum of art
Or just go to the park

I was talking on the telephone, texting my friend Mary, sending an email to Bob and surfing the net for that new cool game, you know the one where you save the world from all the executives of the companies that are directly responsible for the pollution of our planet?

These video games are just more than I can take
All the hummin’ and the buzzin’ make my head start to ache
What’s a kid to do with the digital blues
Turn off the computer and put on my shoes
It’s a beautiful day.  Gotta get out and play
I got a big imagination and I’m here to say

Why sit inside when you can
Get on your bicycle
Roll up on your tricycle
Dance down the street.

Skip down the street
Wiggle down the street
Whistle down the street
Skate down the street

The whole world’s got the beat.  Just use your feet!
