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 ↴
You say "No, no, don't wanna do that."
I say "Let's have some fun today, now."
You say, "No, no, I can't do that."
Between sunrise and sunset
Hey, friend of mine
You know, we haven't had fun yet
We got some time
You know, the day it isn't done yet
I say "Let's throw a ball in the yard."
You say, you say "No, no, throw it that far."
Well, I say "Let's take a Sunday drive."
Well, you say "Oh, oh, we don't have a car, no."
Between sunrise and sunset
Hey, friend of mine
You know, we haven't had our fun yet
Between sunrise and sunset
We got some time
You know, the day it isn't done yet
Between sunrise and sunset
Hey, friend of mine
You know, we haven't had our fun yet
Between sunrise and sunset
Hey, friend of mine
You know, the day it isn't done yet
Between sunrise and sunset
We've got some time
You know, the day it isn't done yet
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
