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."

Why don't cha come along?
It's such a beautiful day
But we're gonna need a ball
And we're gonna make some bases
Swinging for the fences
Look at all the happy faces
And I'll throw it to you
You throw it to me
Let's invite the kid who lives down the street
Calling Dave and Smitty too
How about you?
Call all our friends
How about you?
Call all our friends
How about you?
Call all our friends
How about you?
Call all our friends
It's everybody's game
It's everybody's game
And everybody plays
And everybody plays
Why don't cha come along?
Why don't cha come along?
It's such a beautiful day
It's such a beautiful day
But we're gonna need our dolls
And we're gonna need a tea set
Tea set
Everybody's getting dressed up
Dressed Up
I said are you having fun yet?
I'll pour the tea
And you cut the cake
It's make-believe but it sure tastes great
Having fun
And tea for two
How about you?
Call all our friends
How about you?
Call all our friends
How about you?
Call all our friends
How about you?
Call all our friends
Call 'em up to come on down
Tell all your friends to gather round
To play some games, to share some toys
How bout some music?
Gonna make some noise
Call all our friends to get in the game
Meet someone new
Learn somebody's name
Is everyone here?
There's so much to do
It's everybody's game, and everybody plays
Why don't cha come along?
It's such a beautiful day
It's everybody's game, and everybody plays
Call all our friends
How about you?
Call all our friends
How about you?
Call all the word
Call all our friends
Call every boy and girl
How about you?
Call all our friends
It's a beautiful day for some lemonade
