The sun is shin ing bright to day, so we can all go out to play.
The sun is shin ing bright to day, so let’s go out to play!
We’ll swing and slide and ride a bike; may be e ven fly a kite.
Whis tle, shout, and sing out loud un til we see a big dark cloud.
The sun is shin ing bright to day, so we can all go out to play.
We’ll give a cheer.
Here’s what we’ll say, it’s hip hip hip hoo ray!
Hoo ray!
(hip hip) Hoo ray!
(hip hip) Let’s go out side and play.
Hoo ray!
(hip hip) Hoo ray!
(hip hip) This ex tra spe cial day!
This page shows “Extra Special Day” by Carolyn Miller 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 168 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.
