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."

Imagination Movers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take a look around, you know it's time to explore
In the jungle room
Whoa, in the jungle room
In the jungle room, don't you go at night
Too many creatures gonna give you a fright
In the jungle room
We're gonna keep on searchin'
Where there's a will you know we'll find a way
We're gonna keep on workin', we're gonna help our friends
We're gonna save the day, oh
In the jungle room you might meet a snake
Hiss, hiss, hiss, that's the sound it makes
In the jungle room
Whoa, in the jungle room
Well, in the jungle room you hear a lion's roar
Hear him shake out the trees, then he roars some more
In the jungle room
Whoa, in the jungle room
We're gonna keep on searchin'
Where there's a will you know we'll find a way
We're gonna keep on workin', we're gonna help our friends
We're gonna save the day, look out
Chimps are all swinging from vine to vine
The parrots sing the same thing every time
The tiger's playing drums with a big boom boom
Making jungle music in the jungle room
Well, the lion is king, so he's taking the lead
Birdies are singing with a tweet, tweet, tweet
Listen to the croaking of the little bitty toads
Here comes the elephant, to blow his nose
We're gonna keep on searchin'
Where there's a will you know we'll find a way
We're gonna keep on workin', we're gonna help our friends
We're gonna save the day, whoa, yeah
