about
A jaunty swing song about… well.. appreciating the small things! Whether it’s tiny critters in nature or just the nice little things that people do. Even the most insignificant things add up to something bigger in the end! We can all make small things into something bigger if we try.
lyrics
If you think bigger is better
Then you might want to think again
Cos if less is more, you can’t ignore
That small gets ten out of ten
Did you know the world around us
Is much more than one big thing?
It’s a lot of little things joined up together
That make me want to sing
Appreciate the small things, the small things
Appreciate the small
Appreciate the small things, the small things
Appreciate them all
Well, it it’s not the size that matters
Does matter have a size at all?
It gets less and less ‘til nothing’s left
Like a set of stacking dolls
From all the tiny little critters
To all the good deeds you have done
They add up to something bigger
And then you get the whole in one
So appreciate the small things, the small things
Appreciate the small
Just appreciate the small things, the small things
Appreciate them all
Granules of sand make up the beach
Beetles and ants, there’s more than one each
Think of the littlest thing you can fathom
Is it a molecule or an atom or maybe a quark?
What the…!?
Appreciate the small things, the small things
Appreciate the small
Just appreciate the small things, the small things
Appreciate them all
You don’t need a billion dollars and a Lamborghini or twenty-million followers in bikinis
Appreciate the small things, the small things
Then you might want to think again
Cos if less is more, you can’t ignore
That small gets ten out of ten
Did you know the world around us
Is much more than one big thing?
It’s a lot of little things joined up together
That make me want to sing
Appreciate the small things, the small things
Appreciate the small
Appreciate the small things, the small things
Appreciate them all
Well, it it’s not the size that matters
Does matter have a size at all?
It gets less and less ‘til nothing’s left
Like a set of stacking dolls
From all the tiny little critters
To all the good deeds you have done
They add up to something bigger
And then you get the whole in one
So appreciate the small things, the small things
Appreciate the small
Just appreciate the small things, the small things
Appreciate them all
Granules of sand make up the beach
Beetles and ants, there’s more than one each
Think of the littlest thing you can fathom
Is it a molecule or an atom or maybe a quark?
What the…!?
Appreciate the small things, the small things
Appreciate the small
Just appreciate the small things, the small things
Appreciate them all
You don’t need a billion dollars and a Lamborghini or twenty-million followers in bikinis
Appreciate the small things, the small things
