My favorite kids' song ever
Children's programming has really changed, even in the 27 months that Julian has been around. We don't get Yo Gabba Gabba because we don't have cable, but we watch the zany show online. There's this wacky guy in an orange suit and these cute, totally silly characters that run around acting out skits and singing songs. The show is as famous for its special guests; Jack Black was just a co-host recently, for example. Elijah Wood does a dance. Hipster bands come and play tunes, and none of them is as catchy and magical as The Roots' song "Lovely, Love my Family." Here are the lyrics, but you really should watch the video yourself. It will make your day, I promise.
All we need, all we need. All we need.
Spread the love around, yeah
Sometimes when I am sitting by myself
Those quiet moments when not with no one else
I’m mesmerized by all the many good things in my life
I think about the time when I was younger
And the older that I get the more that I feel wiser
With the love of friends and family
Get stronger and it carries me on through
So I say lovely lovely lovely lovely lovely
lovely lovely lovely love, love my family
So I say lovely lovely lovely lovely lovely
lovely lovely lovely love, love my family
So I say lovely lovely lovely lovely lovely
lovely lovely lovely love, love my family
Sometimes when I am waiting for the bus
The sun shines bright and I feel peace like nowhere else
I know I'm in good health and life keeps going, I keep moving, I’m alright
I go to school and educate my mind, and the way the world is spinning
makes me want to turn around and start all over, hit the reset and go back in time.
Oh baby love me
Oh spread the love around, yeah
So I say lovely lovely lovely lovely lovely
lovely lovely lovely love, love my family
So I say lovely lovely lovely lovely lovely
lovely lovely lovely love, love my family
So I say lovely lovely lovely lovely lovely
lovely lovely lovely love, love my family
Lyrics: Lovely, Love my Family, The Roots [end]
