Spoken: Ah, there they are, sunglasses. Wow, this is gonna be great! A whole day in the park with my friends. Let's see, ummm, flashlight, for looking into dark places. Yeah, in it goes. Let's see, a dictionary, yeah, in case I want to look up some words while I'm there. Boy, you know, it was a lot easier going to the park when I was little, my Mom pushed me in a baby carriage.
Sung: Things have changed
Since the days when I crawled on floors
Wearing diapers in my drawers
And my Mom took me out-of-doors
Now I know
If I'm planning a trip somewhere
And I'll be very far from home
I prepare myself with care
Binoculars to look for birdies
And soap for when I get the dirties
My parka goes
In case it snows
My book and shovel, map and whistle too
I can't say yet that this'll do
No, I can't doze
'Cause everything goes
I'm taking my tent today
And my hat today
And my boots today
My canteen today
Something green today
And I'll know today
I'm prepared for any woes
So 'though it's not a great adventure
You'll say that I certainly went sure
I was on my toes
Everything goes
Well, that's everything
Brave as I am I'd hate to rough it
So, I'll take my pack and stuff it
Goodness knows
Everything goes
Yes, I would rather seem a worrier
Than be a thoughtless hurrier
The idea grows
Everything goes
I'm gonna be glad today
And not sad today
And not wish today
That I'd stayed today
In the house today
And I'll know today
I'm prepared for any woes
So 'though it's not a great adventure
You'll say that I certainly went sure
I was on my toes
Everything goes
