Block	Daytime block
Featuring	Sign-ons at 6am

"Fantastic Day" was a song performed by Moose and Zee once Noggin signed on every day at 6am. It debuted with the two new mascots/hosts on April 7, 2003, and when Noggin became Nick Jr. in 2009, it continued to air (albeit with Nick Jr.'s name instead of Noggin's, and a few lyrics changed) as late as February 29, 2012. In the song, Moose sings about what we'll do today and how great it will be.

Lyrics

Note:Lyrics in Bold are the differences from the Noggin and Nick Jr version

Are you ready? (Ready!!)
Are you ready Zee?
Great! Follow me!
We’re gonna climb some trees
Buzz with the bees
We’ll squeeze through a hole
With ants and a mole
We’re gonna paint and scribble
And splash and dribble
Whatcha got there, Zee?
Oh (Noggin Version), Huh (Nick Jr. Version), It’s a picture of me.
It’s gonna be a fantastic day (Let’s play!)
Everybody shout hooray (HOORAY!)
I’m using my noggin today (Noggin Version)
There's only one thing to say (Nick Jr. Version)
(Oh yeah!)
I’m using my noggin today (Noggin Version)
My favorite day is, well, today! (Nick Jr. Version)
We’re gonna count to 10
And back to 1 again
Watching numbers zoom
All around the room
The alphabet is here
From A to Z
We’ll meet them all
Just follow me!
It’s gonna be a fantastic day (Let’s play!)
Everybody shout hooray (HOORAY!)
I’m using my noggin today (Noggin Version)
There's only one thing to say (Nick Jr. Version)
(Oh yeah!)
I’m using my noggin today (Noggin Version)
My favorite day is today! (Nick Jr. Version)
Well, we're all here together.
There's you, and there's me,
and over there is Zee.
Hey, Zee, isn't this great? Zee?
I love to see you so excited, Zee.
I'm getting a little sleepy.
[yawning] Sorry, just a little... (Noggin Version)
Just a Little [yawning] (Nick Jr. version)
[snoring]
(Wake up! 3x) (Another WAKE UP is said in the Nick Jr. version, but not the Noggin version)
What Huh? OHHH!!!
It’s gonna be a fantastic day (Let’s play!)
Everybody shout hooray (HOORAY!)
I’m using my noggin today (Noggin Version)
There's only one thing to say (Nick Jr. Version)
(Oh yeah!)
I’m using my noggin today (Noggin Version) (2x)
My favorite day is today! (Nick Jr. Version) (2x)
