Busy Box Band
It was late one night in the nursery
It woke up the whole family
Our little baby sister was supposed to be asleep
She was playing her Busy Box laying down a beat

She had a barber pole roller that she could shake
She was hitting that spring for all it could take
She tapped the little button with one of her feet
And Jack Be Nimble let out a squeak

Then she pushed the little dog in a straight line
And made a clicking sound in perfect time
She squeezed the big knob right on cue
The Hey Diddle Diddle cow let out a moo

Come on and clap your hands
It's the Baby Busy Box Band
Nobody can play
A squeaker that way
And you ring that bell
Baby you do it so well
You use your feet and hands
To play the Baby Busy Box Band

Well, it sounded kind of musical, almost a tune
It was coming from our little baby sister’s room
We opened the door, baby didn't mind at all
Mom and dad were dancing in the hall

I got my saxophone and sister got a guitar
And pretty soon we played it "Eight to the Bar"
We opened up the windows 'cause it was hot
The neighbors started dancing in the parking lot

Come on and clap your hands
It’s the Baby Busy Box Band
Nobody can play
A squeaker that way
And you ring that bell
Baby you do it so well
You use your feet and hands
To play the Baby Busy Box Band
And I'm sure you know how the story goes
Baby sister stars in her own video
She's just a little kid, she sits in her crib
As she begins to rock and play her Busy Box

Come on and clap your hands
'Cause it's the Baby Busy Box Band
Nobody can play
A squeaker that way
And you ring that bell
Baby you do it so well
You use your feet and hands
To play the Baby Busy Box Band
The Baby Busy Box Band
The Baby Busy Box Band
To play the Baby Busy Box Band

Yeah!
