Go outside song for kids — "Let's Go Outside!" cover art by Snuggle Bunch

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!

  • Squeaky Clean!

    Bath time in our house goes one of two ways: absolute refusal to get in, or absolute refusal to get out. Usually both. “Squeaky Clean!” is for that first hurdle — getting everyone into the tub with minimal negotiations. Once the suds are flowing and the rub-a-dub-dub kicks in, even the most reluctant bather starts having a good time. Just please don’t pee! We’re trying to get clean.

  • Little Bird!

    There’s something special about watching a little bird hop around in a tree. Happy, wild, free, doing a little wiggle and fluffing its feathers. It just clicks with kids! “Little Bird!” captures that wide-eyed wonder. We wrote this one outside of daycare right after dropoff, it has a special place in our hearts!

  • 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.
