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."
The Medicine Song
Imagination Movers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll feel better soon
Take, take, take your medicine
Take it from the spoon
Take, take, take your medicine
Always does the trick
Open your mouth and one, two, three
Take your medicine when you are sick
Sometimes it tastes like the cherry (Cherry)
Sometimes it's bubblegum (Pop)
Sometimes it tastes like banana (Banana)
Before you know it, then you are done (Stop)
It might come from your doctor (Doctor)
Your mommy or your daddy too (Mom and dad)
When you take your medicine, you can feel as good as new
When you take your medicine, you can feel as good as new
You'll be better soon, won't you sing this tune
And let the medicine go to work?
If you're feeling bad, then you should be glad
To see the medicine find the hurt
It can take a while, then you start to smile
Then the fever goes away
Now you're feeling strong, won't you sing along
With Imagination Movers, say
Take, take, take your medicine
You'll feel better soon
Take, take, take your medicine
Take it from the spoon
Take, take, take your medicine
Always does the trick
Open your mouth and one, two, three
Take your medicine when you are sick
Open your mouth and one, two, three
Take your medicine when you are sick
A-cha-cha-cha
