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!

  • 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 Want To Have Fun!

    The title track and high-energy opener of Snuggle Bunch’s second album. “I Want To Have Fun!” is a family hip hop anthem that captures the first-thing-in-the-morning burst of energy every parent knows too well. Full lyrics and streaming links inside.

  • Big ol’ Truck!

    There’s no explaining it — your kid sees a truck and the whole world stops. Doesn’t matter if it’s a dump truck, a fire engine, or just a normal pickup. “Big ol’ Truck!” captures that pure, unfiltered hype that only a kid standing on the sidewalk pointing at heavy machinery can produce. Oh wow oh man! Inspired by a real quote from my son when he was 2.

  • 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!
