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!

  • Bubble Gun!

    If you’ve ever watched a kid see a bunch of bubbles floating through the air and completely lose their mind, you already understand this song. “Bubble Gun!” is about that one toy that turns any afternoon into pure magic. The iridescent shine, the cute spherical shape, and the absolute joy when the bubbles start flying.

  • Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (R&B Mix)

    You’ve sung “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” a thousand times. In the car, at bedtime, in the grocery store when things were getting dicey. So we figured, what if that melody got the R&B treatment it’s been quietly deserving all along? This version keeps every word your kids already know and wraps it in a smooth, soulful groove that won’t make you want to leave the room by verse two.

  • 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!

  • Time To Get Dressed! (Put on Your Clothes)

    If the morning routine has a final boss, it’s getting your kid into clothes. They’re comfy. They don’t want to exit pajamas. Pants are optional in their worldview. “Time To Get Dressed!” turns the daily clothing struggle into a race against the song, and it really works! Challenge your kids to see if they can get dressed by the end of the song. One leg, two leg, shirt on the body now!

  • Time to Take a Nap (Foxy’s Version)

    One of our first songs was a lullaby featuring folk singer Mama Goose. After recording, we decided to let Foxy have a shot at recording this a laid-back, melodic spin on one of our first tracks. It hits different when you need something a little softer to wind things down. Featuring an extended outro thats designed to give parents the time to pause the music and sneak out of the room.

  • Little Man Dance

    A new experimental jazz tune with Jazz Animals, inspired entirely by this adorable squat dance my one year old does whenever he hears a song he likes! A big fan of the sound of a trumpet, this one takes a similar sample-based approach to You’re a Big Man!, but with a slightly more laid-back vibe.
