From the recording Songs for Peaceful Pandas, Volume 2
Lyrics
I just got a new book
I can’t wait to dive in
I’ll hang out in the shade of a tree
Get all cozy and ready to read
But there’s just one thing
before I turn a page
I think about the trip it took
to get to this place
I think about the people
who helped along the way
How’d it get here?
Hey, how’d it get here?
Hey, where’s it from?
I just got some new paint
I’m ready to make a masterpiece
I’m gonna draw the beautiful sky
The sun and the birds and the clouds floating by
But there’s just one thing
before I dip my brush in
I think about the trip it took
to get to this place
I think about the people
who helped along the way
How’d it get here?
Hey, how’d it get here?
Hey, where’s it from?
By truck and train
and boat and plane
From places far and near
Some things travel quite a long way
Some are made right here
Now it’s time to eat
Sittin’ with our family
Look at all this wonderful food
It’s all that we need and a little more too
But there’s just one thing
Before we dig in
We think about the trip it took to get to our plates
We think about the people who helped along the way
How’d it get here?
Hey, how’d it get here?
Hey, how’d it get here?
Hey, where’s it from?
