Let’s Go Outside!

About This Song

It could be raining. It could be a hurricane! But the kids need to go outside. We’ve all had the realization that no amount of toys, screen time, or couch forts will substitute for just getting them out the door. “Let’s Go Outside!” is that truth set to a beat, it’s as much a pep talk for us as it is for them.

This high-energy family-friendly rap track captures the universal parenting law that kids simply need fresh air. Rain or shine, ready or not, “Let’s Go Outside” is perfect for toddlers and preschoolers who need a nudge toward the door, and for parents who need the motivation to grab the shoes and go!

Lyrics

You can have the biggest house
But the kids need to go outside
You could have the bestest toys
But the kids need to go outside
You could have the greatest couch
But the kids need to go outside
I really don’t know why
But the kids need to go outside
Let’s go outside!

It could be a rainy day
But the kids need to go outside
It could be a hurricane
But the kids need to go outside
I might barely be alive
But the kids need to go outside
I think I finally get why
We gotta get these kids outside
Let’s go outside!

You can have the biggest house
But the kids need to go outside
You could have the bestest toys
But the kids need to go outside
You could have the greatest couch
But the kids need to go outside
I really don’t know why
But the kids need to go outside
Let’s go outside!

It could be a rainy day
But the kids need to go outside
It could be a hurricane
But the kids need to go outside
I might barely be alive
But the kids need to go outside
I think I finally get why
We gotta get these kids outside
Let’s go outside!

  • You’re a Big Man!

    An experimental jazz track sampling and remixing an improvised acapella recording, incorporating horns and a live jazzy feel to a lighthearted melody about my son growing up. “You’re a Big Man!” started as a simple voice memo ( a proud dad moment caught on tape ) and evolved into a horn-driven, jazz-flavored celebration of watching your little one hit those big milestones.

  • Mac and Cheese!

    “Mac and Cheese!” is an ode to the one meal that never gets turned down! After time and time again trying to make something nice for my kids for dinner, we’ve come to realize if there’s mac and cheese, it’s gonna be a winner.

  • Broccoli Lovers!

    When my one-year-old discovered broccoli and decides it’s the greatest thing on the planet, I wrote a song about it! “Broccoli Lovers!” was born out of watching our littlest Snuggle Bunch fan devour every piece of broccoli in sight, while his skeptical three-year-old brother looked on, unconvinced. This fun family hip hop track is a love letter to the kids who can’t get enough of the green stuff, and a gentle nudge for the ones still making up their minds.

  • I’m a Dog!

    “I’m a Dog!” captures that pure, unfiltered joy of pretending to be a puppy! Complete with woofing, being aloof, and dropping bars in the booth. It’s silly, it’s loud, and it’s exactly as chaotic as the living room on a Saturday morning.

  • Peanut Butter Sandwich!

    Mom made something amazing for dinner. Dad put together a beautiful plate. And yet, the kid wants a peanut butter sandwich. Every family has that one meal their kid will always choose over whatever you actually cooked, and “Peanut Butter Sandwich!” turns that standoff into a groove. No negotiations, no bribes, just pure loyalty to their favorite food no matter what else is on offer.

  • THREEnager!

    They want it. They need it. They must have it right now! You hand it over and…nope, they don’t want it anymore, it’s on the floor. Welcome to three. “THREEnager!” is told from the kid’s perspective — they make a fair point: they’ve only been on this planet for three short years, everything is a challenge. That doesn’t make the “why why why” phase any easier to survive, but at least now it has a beat!
