Lyrics
[Intro] Hey, hey—come on! One, two, step with me [Verse 1] You brought a paper kite I brought a yellow string We found a patch of open grass And made the whole day swing Your little red shoes tap Mine answer, two by two The clouds are moving slowly But I’m moving next to you [Pre-Chorus] Round and round, easy now Keep that smile, don’t look down When the beat comes back around We’ll be ready, we’ll be ready [Chorus] Hey! We can lift it up Hey! We can turn it round Hands high, feet light Happy feet on solid ground Hey! Everybody say Hey! Let the good day start Soft step, big laugh You can carry sunshine in your heart [Verse 2] A blue cup by the fence Two oranges in a bag You drew a tiny rocket ship Across my paper map The afternoon is sweet The garden gate is wide We don’t need to hurry home There’s room for both our strides [Pre-Chorus] Round and round, easy now Keep that smile, don’t look down When the beat comes back around We’ll be ready, we’ll be ready [Chorus] Hey! We can lift it up Hey! We can turn it round Hands high, feet light Happy feet on solid ground Hey! Everybody say Hey! Let the good day start Soft step, big laugh You can carry sunshine in your heart [Bridge] La-la, take my hand La-la, here we stand If the little kite comes down We’ll pick it up and try again [Final Chorus] Hey! We can lift it up Hey! We can turn it round Hands high, feet light Happy feet on solid ground Hey! Everybody say Hey! Let the good day start Soft step, big laugh You can carry sunshine in your heart [Outro] Hey, hey—come on! One, two, step with me The day is ours to keep
