One day Tallulah was dancing around the house, singing "everybody sing, everybody sing". I couldn't remember hearing that song before, so I did a little googling. The only song I could find was from an old Broadway musical that we had never heard. I like to do a little bit of teaching when I play, so Everybody Sing became a way to introduce very basic musical concepts like pitch, tempo, volume and silliness. On this song I sing and play bass, electric piano, acoustic guitar, cajon, tambourine, and several shakers.

Everybody Sing, Everybody Sing, Everybody Sing, let your voices ring,
Everybody sing, Everybody Sing, Everybody Sing real high
Let's sing high, let's sing high, let's sing high like the birds in the sky,
Let's sing high, let's sing high, everybody sing real high...
Everybody Sing, Everybody Sing, Everybody Sing, let your voices ring,
Everybody sing, Everybody Sing, Everybody Sing real low
Let's sing low, let's sing low, let's sing low how low can we go?
Let's sing low, let's sing low, everybody sing real low...
Everybody Sing, Everybody Sing, Everybody Sing, let your voices ring,
