The Way Back Home | Back, Back, Clap! Action Song for Kids | Shapes & Colors

The go-back-the-way-it-went song from episode 19 of Shapes & Colors, a swung, finger-snapping stroll with upright bass, piano, clarinet and muted trumpet: Milo's one step pulls the string tight, Eve stops to look first, the bridge undoes the flags, the bench and the lamp, and Tangle's ball comes home whole. 🎵 About the music: this song was made with the help of AI. The music and the singing were generated with Google Gemini (Lyria). It is a DO-along, not a listen-along: two small steps back, then clap - back, back, clap! - every time the chorus comes round. Pop, pop, pop with the flags in the bridge, stop and look in Eve's verse, and sing round, under, through at the end. THE ONE IDEA THE SONG IS BUILT ON: to undo something, go back the way it went - one slow step, then one more. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 Chorus - go back the way it went 0:27 Milo's verse - one little step and the string went tight 0:44 Chorus again 1:01 Eve's verse - stop and look 1:27 Bridge - through the flags, pop, pop, pop! 1:46 Tangle's verse - my ball is whole 2:12 Chorus 2:29 Chorus - back, back, clap! 2:46 Final - through and under and round 🎵 FULL LYRICS [CHORUS] Go back the way it went, One slow step, then one more, Through and under and round, Back, back, clap! [VERSE 1 - MILO] One little step and the string went tight, Round the lamp, oh what a sight! Under the bench and through the flags, All tangled up in knots and snags! [CHORUS] Go back the way it went, One slow step, then one more, Through and under and round, Back, back, clap! [VERSE 2 - EVE] Stop and look, what's different now? The lamp is leaning, the bench is bent, The flags are crooked, and the string is why, Look first, look first, don't pull, don't pry! [BRIDGE] Through the flags, pop, pop, pop! Under the bench, lift it up! Round the post, hold it tight, Now the lamp is shining bright! [VERSE 3 - TANGLE] Round and round, my ball is whole, One little knot is all that's left, I asked for help, and look who came, Now we know the way back home! [CHORUS] Go back the way it went, One slow step, then one more, Through and under and round, Back, back, clap! [OUTRO] Through and under and round, Through and under and round, Go back the way it went, Back, back, clap! 👋 MEET THE CAST Milo - pulled the string, and walked every step back Eve - stopped to look first Tangle - got her ball back, with one little knot Dot - opened the song From episode 19 - the full episode is on the channel: a tied-up Milo, a leaning lamp and one very careful walk.
