Lyrics

(Spoken)
Today we're gonna talk about things that are true
for not just you and me
but for everyone
We wrote a song
wanna hear it, hear it goes

(Verse I)
Tires are the part of a car that rolls on the street
and shoes when you dress work best when you put 'em on your feet
Evening is the time of the day when the sun comes down
and quiet is the thing that you hear when you don't hear a sound

(Chorus)
True, True, True , True,
these are things that are true
These are things that are true
and it might sound funny
but it ain't really funny if it's true

(Verse II)
Bananas and apples and peaches and pears are fruits
and if you eat 5 of them everyday it will do your body good
you should look both ways any day that you're tryin' to cross the street
and if you tie your shoes tight it will keep them from slippin' off your feet

(Chorus)

(Verse III)
When you wanna mix your colors know that yellow and blue make green
and when you try to make a sandwich you should put all the stuff in between (the bread)
Rabbits move quick while snails and turtles move slow
People and trees and flowers need water to grow

(Chorus)

(Verse IV)
So if you're ever at a time in your life when you're feelin' kinda blue
Like if you're scared or you're sad, or you're mad, and you're needing something true
you could sing all the words that you heard in this itty bitty song
You could sing it real clear
don't fear 'cause we'd never lead you wrong

(Chorus)
