The Lyrics
Preschoolers at Sunshine Early Learning Center, an all-black school in Washington D.C. were in for a surprise. They had no idea that in another classroom, school administrators were putting the finishing touches on 100 red backpacks full of school supplies. (YouTube)
Sing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
Then, you’ll swing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
Those backpacks are bound to get you,
Oh, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
Those backpacks are bound to get you,
Backpack, backpack, backpack, backpack, backpack...mmm...
(female vocal)
Backpack Steps,
Start in to give, then soon, you’ll be giving,
Backpack Steps,
One hundred totes, they’re red, and they’re fleeting,
One, two, three,
Back to School sensation, (dee-de-oh!)
They say “Whee!”,
It’s the gift that’s putting the kids on their feet,
Backpack Steps,
Once you begin, you have to pitch in to
Backpack Steps,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not a dunce,
Oh, you’ll catch on at once,
Well, join those kids and say “Whee!”
It’s the Backpack Steps!
(vocal trio)
Backpack Steps,
Start in to give, then soon, you’ll be giving,
Backpack Steps,
One hundred totes, they’re red, and they’re fleeting,
One, two, three,
Back to School sensation, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
They say “Whee!”,
It’s the gift that’s putting the kids on their feet,
Backpack Steps,
Once you begin, you have to pitch in to
Backpack Steps,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not a dunce,
You’ll catch on at once,
Join those kids and say “Whee!”
It’s the Backpack Steps, whoa!
Backpack Steps,
(instrumental call-back)
Backpack Steps,
(instrumental call-back)
One, two, three,
Back to School sensation, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
They say “Whee!”,
It’s the gift that’s putting the kids on their feet,
Backpack Steps,
(instrumental call-back)
Backpack Steps,
(instrumental call-back)
If you’re not a dunce,
You’ll catch on at once,
Join those kids and say “Whee!”
It’s the Backpack Steps, whoa!
Simple as the day is long!
Then, you’ll swing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
Those backpacks are bound to get you,
Oh, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
Those backpacks are bound to get you,
Backpack, backpack, backpack, backpack, backpack...mmm...
