Lyrics

Some kids keep a journal or a drawing pad.
I collect my thoughts in shots and clips.
If the day is pokey and my friends feel bad,
I point and shoot to change their gloomy scripts.

My video camera shows the world the way it ought to be!
Laughing, loving faces looking back at me!
I cut out any shady parts;
Focus on the sunny hearts;
Make a happy movie for a YouTube world!

Everywhere I go I use my camera eye
to capture all the cool things that I see.
Wacky witty humans are in great supply.
I film the funny things they do for me.

My video camera shows the world the way it ought to be!
Laughing, loving faces looking back at me!
I cut out any shady parts;
Focus on the sunny hearts;
Make a happy movie for a YouTube world!

I frame a bike, a dog, a man on a jog, a kid with a comic book walking in a fog;
Now I'm zooming in on something new.
A squirrel, a jump-roping girl, her sister with a yo-yo going round the world;
Now I'm panning all around the view.
Do do do do do do do a do do do da do do do da do!
I think what I’ve been looking for is
you - yeah you! Smile!

My video camera shows the world the way it ought to be!
Laughing, loving faces looking back at me!
I cut out any shady parts;
Focus on the sunny hearts;
Make a happy movie for a YouTube world!

The way it ought to be;
Laughing, loving faces looking back at me!
I cut out any shady parts;
Focus on the sunny hearts;
Make a happy movie for a YouTube world!

Do do do do!
Do do do do!
Do do do do do!
