Lyrics
Other Three: Hey Zidgel, where did you get that calliope, huh?
Zidgel: I got it from a cat named Uncle Blobb
Other Three: How did you figure out how to play that thing?
Zidgel: You just twist a few knobs and swing.
Well, you climb on into that circus tent
Other Three: Before you know it you are a seed of discontent
Zidgel: Can you tell me what went wrong?
Move your feet and swing along.
You are griping and whining about everything.
Other Three: Man complaining hips are hard to swing
Zidgel: You get to jump, jive and run.
You should be having fun.
All: Don’t be a seed!
If a seed is what you are.
You have got to be a bright and shining star!
Hey!
(Midgel scatting, imitating trombone)
All: You can’t always get what you want.
No, no! You can’t always get what you want.
Ah-uh!
But if you gripe sometimes, you just might find, you turn into seed!
Zidgel: When you stop griping and whining about everything
Midgel, Fidgel and Kevin: Your legs get loose and you start to swing!
Zidgel: You jump, jive and run! Man now you are having fun!
Can you tell me where that sad face went?
Midgel, Fidgel, and Kevin: Cracked a smile, changed your style, now you are content
Zidgel: You are singing a new song! Move your feet and swing along!
All: Don’t be a seed!
If a seed is what you are, you have got to be a bright and shining star! Hey!
Zidgel: When they see you swing and smile a lot
Midgel, Fidgel, and Kevin: They want a little bit of what you got.
Zidgel: Now look at who you are! A bright and shining star!
All: Much happier by far! A bright and shining...
Zidgel: No griping, no whining!
All: A bright and shining star!
