Fetching song
As sly as a fox, as strong as an ox.
As fast as a hare, as brave as a bear.
As (C)free as a bird, as neat as a word.
As qui et as a mouse, as big as a house.
(Dm)All
I (C)wan na be.
(Dm)All
I (C)wan na be.
Oh.
(Dm)All
I (C)wan na be
is (A)ev ’ry thing.
Ev ’ry thing at (Dm)once.
This page shows “Everything At Once” by Lenka in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of Bb at 144 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.
This arrangement is a great way to lock in your left-hand oompah pattern — bass note, then chord, alternating steadily — which gives the song its bouncy, playful feel. You're only working with three chords (Dm, A, and C), so the shapes themselves are simple, but at 144 BPM that oompah needs to feel automatic before you add the melody. Start hands-separate and at about half tempo; get your left hand cycling through the chord changes until the transitions feel boring, then layer in your right hand. The trickiest moment for most students is moving between A and Dm without hesitating — drill just that two-chord switch in a loop until it's seamless. Don't rush to full speed; bump the tempo up in small increments. Once this clicks, you'll have a rock-solid oompah bass you can carry into dozens of other songs.
