Lyrics
Calvin: Who invented music? We'd like to shake his hand 'Cause music casts a spell on us That we can't understand

Must be some magician Designed a magic plan He changed his wand to a baton And that's how it all began

When the rhythm pounds And the harmony sounds And the melody rolls around

Mayo (spoken): "Prest-o Change-o!"

Calvin: We're ten feet off the ground

Calvin and Alice: And when the rhythm pounds And the harmony sounds And the melody rolls around Right from the down beat, We can be found Ten feet off the ground

Katie: When everybody puts his heart in it Everybody plays a part in it

Calvin and Laura: That's how music magic is made

Katie: Everybody's toes get tappier Everybody's feelin' happier

All: Lighter than air Out of his chair Ten feet off the ground

When the rhythm pounds And the harmony sounds And the melody rolls around

Sidney (spoken): "Prest-o Change-o!"

All: He's ten feet off the ground!

Who invented music? We'd like to shake his hand

That's how music magic is made Ohhhhhhhh! Ten feet off the ground!

That's how music magic is made La, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la Lighter than air Out of his chair Ten feet off the ground Ohhhhhhhhhhh

Right from the down beat, we can be found Floating along on a musical sound Out of this world and upward bound Ten feeeeet

Everybody puts his heart in it Everybody plays a part in it That's how music magic is made Everybody's toes get tappier Everybody's feeling happier Lighter than air Out of his chair Ten feet off the ground
