From the band's own website:
"The Movers – Rich, Scott, Dave and Smitty -- began in New Orleans in 2003 and now are fast-rising stars on the national kids music scene thanks to their combination of radio-friendly songs, kid-friendly themes and dynamic live shows. In concert, the Movers teach high-energy dances, play games with the audience and make music on their one-of-a-kind trashcan drumset. Kids and parents help perform new kids classics like “Shakable You,” “The Medicine Song,” “What’s in the Fridge?” and "I Want My Mommy (Time for Bed).""
and:
"In 2007, Disney Channel green-lighted a Movers television series for Playhouse Disney featuring Rich, Scott, Dave and Smitty as blue-collar brainstormers working hard to solve “idea emergencies” in their Idea Warehouse, a clearinghouse of infinite inspirations. Through songs, stories and skits, the Movers move kids to exercise their bodies and brains."
Bye-Bye Diaper
Imagination Movers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
You've been my friend
And it's been great
You stuck by me
With a piece of tape
But I got this potty
I'm going to give it a try
And diaper, bye-bye
Bye-bye diaper I'm moving on
Bye-bye diaper I'm moving on
Bye-bye diaper I'm moving on
Don't you know you've got to go with the flow right now
Some days I was pampered
Some days I was loved
Lovey-dove
And late at night you gave me huggy hugs
But those days are behind me
I'm gonna tell you why
Tell me why
It's hello underwear
Hello
Snd diaper, bye-bye
Bye-bye diaper I'm moving on
Bye-bye diaper don't you know I am going to wipe you out of my life
Bye-bye diaper I'm moving on
Bye-bye diaper don't you know I am going to wipe you out of my life
Bye-bye diaper I'm moving on
Bye-bye diaper don't you know I am going to wipe you out of my life
Don't you know you've got to
Go with the flow right now
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
Wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee
Wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee
Do do do
Wee wee wee
Do do do
Bye-bye diaper I'm moving on
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
Bye-bye diaper I'm moving on
Wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee
Wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee
Bye-bye diaper I'm moving on

Wee wee wee
Do do do
Bye-bye diaper I'm moving on
Oh, you know you gotts go
The song "Bye-Bye Diaper" by Imagination Movers is a playful anthem about a child transitioning from wearing diapers to using the potty and switching to underwear. The lyrics express the child's gratitude towards their diaper for being their reliable friend and supporting them through the early stages of life, indicated by phrases like "You've been my friend" and "it's been great." The reference to the diaper sticking with tape implies the child's familiarity with the diaper's functionality.
However, the child has now gained confidence and acquired a potty, signaling their readiness to take the next step towards independence. They express their enthusiasm for embracing underwear instead of diapers, bidding farewell to the diaper with the phrase "diaper, bye-bye." This signifies the child's excitement and eagerness to grow up and move forward.
The repetition of the chorus "Bye-bye diaper I'm moving on" reinforces the child's determination to leave the diaper phase behind. The lines "Don't you know you've got to go with the flow right now" juxtapose the literal meaning of potty training with the metaphorical message of adapting to change and progressing forward in life.
The second verse adds further sentimental value to the diapers, acknowledging the love and comfort they have provided, as indicated by phrases like "Some days I was pampered" and "late at night you gave me huggy hugs." However, the child emphasizes that those days are now in the past and explains the reasons behind their decision to let go of the diapers. The repetition of "hello underwear" expresses the child's enthusiasm for this new phase of life.
The later part of the song features playful vocalizations and repetitive phrases, emphasizing the child's joy and excitement for the journey ahead. The overall message of the lyrics is one of transition, growth, and embracing new challenges. It reflects the universal experience of children growing up and gaining independence, specifically focusing on the milestone of transitioning from diapers to underwear.
