## Lyrics

**Verse**

Cushions on the floor, a hallway full of bears  
Stomping down the carpet, giggles everywhere  
Every little tumble, every reach and roll  
Building something strong, from their head down to their toes  


**Chorus**

Play is the way, oh play is the way  
We grow a little stronger every single day  
No fancy things, just you and me  
The living room's the place to be  
Play, play, play is the way  


**Verse**

Put a little song on, dance around the room  
Balloon up in the air, a bouncing afternoon  
Five little minutes, that is all it takes  
Celebrate the wobble, celebrate the shakes  


**Chorus**

Play is the way, oh play is the way  
We grow a little stronger every single day  
No fancy things, just you and me  
The living room's the place to be  
Play, play, play is the way  


**Outro**

La la la, play is the way  
La la la, we grow every day
