about

Inspiration
Heading into the band’s first concert, Amy and I felt like we needed a friendly, energetic “hello” song to introduce ourselves to our audience at the show. We already had half a dozen great songs, but none of them struck me as a show opener. We were inspired to create one that was true to what we care about.

Writing
We started thinking about ways we could energize the kids at the start of our concerts and invite them to get moving. Encouraging kids to step away from the video games for a while and make time for active play was on our minds.

I was also thinking about the values we stand for, like not excluding people when you don’t have to, so we have a really important line in the middle of the song: “Everyone’s invited and no one gets left out!”

Fun fact: the song encourages 15 kinds of movement in less than 4 minutes!

lyrics

Intro:
G | / | C | / |
D | C D | G | / |

Verse 1:
G C G
Time to put down that gadget
C G
And get up from that chair
G C G
Reach your hands up
C C# D
And shake your derrière

G C G
You got a place to play
C G
Outdoors or in
G C G
Rock to the music as you
C C# D
Climb, slide and swing

Chorus:
G
You are jungle gym jamming
C
Jungle gym jamming
D
Jungle gym jamming
C/D D G
It’s jam time today!

G
Jungle gym jamming
C
Jungle gym jamming
D
Jungle gym jamming
C/D D G
Who’s ready to play?


Verse 2:
Clap your hands in rhythm
Now stomp to the beat
Jump, jump up and down
That's using your feet!

Let's pretend we're banging the drums
And play that air guitar
Play the low notes on the bass
You're a little rock star

Chorus:
You are jungle gym jamming
Jungle gym jamming
Jungle gym jamming
We learn as we play

We're jungle gym jamming
Jungle gym jamming
Jungle gym jamming
Keep jamming away

Bridge:
F C
You can spin in circles
Am F G
You can march in place
F C
Feel the joy of moving
F C D
Bring a smile to your face

F C
Having fun together
Am F G
That's what jam time's about
F C
Everyone's invited
F C D
And no one gets left out!


Solo (over a verse)

Chorus:
When we're jungle gym jamming
Jungle gym jamming
Jungle gym jamming
Let’s jam every day

Jungle gym jamming
Jungle gym jamming
Jungle gym jamming
You rule when you play!

Outro:

HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!

HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!
