Lyrics

Time to get fonky wit it…

Ya see, everybody wants this
but we got that.
They say the grass
should be greener
but ours looks plaid. Plaid grass?!
They gotta brand new toy.
Our toy’s dilapidated.
Well, it got charm 💁🏻‍
There really ain’t much to it.
What we got’s my favorite.

U don’t gotta be cool.
It’s ok to dance funky.
U don’t gotta be picture perfect.
I hear ya singing off some key.
Don’t matter what key.
Sometimes we use our outside voices
inside when we’re having fun.
So now’s the time
to let ya soul speak out.
I’m proud that you’re my number one.
U don’t gotta be cool...

It’s kinda like that.
A little high hat.
I tap it tap it to you
Now tap me right back.
I’m hopping over the moon.
cuz you my light-beam.
You don’t gotta be cool
to be on my team.
But u da coolest,
anyway. You da truest
you _that could ever be.
Lift us up kinda energy.
It’s ya smile.
Oh my!
U got that light in your eye.
That’s all I really need to know
to keep my whole day in line.

Ya see, everybody wants this
but we got that.
They say the grass
should be greener
but ours looks plaid.
Plaid grass?
They gotta brand new style.
Our style’s dilapidated.
Well, It got charm 💁🏻
There really ain’t much to it.
What we got’s my favorite.

U don’t gotta be cool.
It’s ok to dance funky.
U don’t gotta be picture perfect.
I hear ya singing off some key.
Don’t matter what key.
Sometimes we use our outside voices
inside when we’re having fun.
So now’s the time
to let ya soul speak out.
I’m proud that you’re my number one.
U don’t gotta be cool....
