The Okee Dokee Brothers
Hope Machine
Everyday I jump outta bed
Splash water all over my head
Brush’m up my teeth and make sure my ears are clean
These days you gotta be strong
So I do a push-up and sing a song
I pick on the guitar and stamp on the tambourine
Always good to change my socks
Know the tools in my tool box
Learn people good, but learn myself the best
Don’t get lonesome, stay glad
Take a bath and wear some plaid
Work when I can work, but don’t forget to rest
Dream good all night long
Rise up and sing your song
They say life is hard, and they’re not wrong
So keep that Hope Machine runnin’ strong
Hi dе yo lay hee hee, hi de yo lay hee hee hee
Hi de yo lay heeeeeee, he hee hee heee hee
Plan what you can plan
Dancе when you can can
Laugh at yourself and make up your own jokes
Little bit of fun, little bit of growth
Hopefully a little bit of both
Love your ma, love your pa, and love all kinds of folks
Talk quiet and listen loud
Teach humble and learn proud
Scuffle with the struggle, and wrestle with the pain
Open homes, open blinds
Open hearts, open minds
Let in the sunshine, let in the rain
Dream good all night long
Rise up and sing your song
They say life is hard, and they’re not wrong
So keep that Hope Machine runnin’ strong
Gotta keep that Hope Machine runnin’ strong
Hi de yo lay hee hee, hi de yo lay hee hee hee
Hi de yo lay heeeeeee, he hee hee heee hee
