## Lyrics

**Verse**

Down the hallway and out through the door  
Ten small toes learning the floor  
Nothing to teach them and nothing to say  
They are working it out their own way  


**Chorus**

Little movers, off you go  
Steady or wobbly, fast or slow  
Nobody's watching the clock in here  
Little movers, I'm right here  


**Verse**

Carpet and floorboards and grass in the sun  
That is the lesson, and that is the fun  
Shoes for the gravel and shoes for the street  
And the rest of the day, let them be feet  


**Chorus**

Little movers, off you go  
Steady or wobbly, fast or slow  
Nobody's watching the clock in here  
Little movers, I'm right here  


**Verse**

Soft little arches that no one can rush  
Quietly building with no one to push  
One day you'll run and you won't think at all  
Of the hallway, the floorboards, the wall  


**Chorus**

Little movers, off you go  
Steady or wobbly, fast or slow  
Nobody's watching the clock in here  
Little movers, I'm right here  


**Outro**

Off you go, love  
Off you go
