"Papa Moco Jumbie" is an animated jingle heard as a Move to the Music interstitial on Noggin. The song is about a boy trying to be as tall as his father for a carnival.
Lyrics[]
It's carnival time in my town today
So papa & I get our costumes ready
Oh I cannot wait for everybody to see when papa stands on his stilts he becomes a moco jumbie
My papa's a moco jumbie
Stands tall as the eyes can see
I wish I was tall as daddy
He dances to bring harmony
Come on son, dance with me
I know I may be small, but I wish I was tall
So for the carnival day, I could moco jumbie my way
My papa's a moco jumbie
Stands tall as the eyes can see I wish I was tall as daddy
He dances to bring harmony and now he's dancing with me and while I may be small we came up with a way
So for the carnival day, I could moco jumbie my way
Me and my papa today, dancing down the carnival way
