Lyrics
We went to get some groceries
To help my mother with her list
And she said to me
"Honey, will you help me please
Pick out some oranges
California oranges
I've got a surprise for you"
I took the good ones from the stack
Put 'em inside a recycled bag
And she said to me
"Honey bring 'em over here please
We gotta pay for the oranges
We're buying a lot of oranges
We're gonna make some juice"
But I couldn't carry them all alone (on my own)
So she helped me carry them all the way home
Sometimes the stuff that we carry
It gets a little too heavy
Sometimes we need a helping hand
I went down to the playground court
With my brother who's a real good sport
And he said to me
"Brother will you play with me
We're gonna shoot some basketball
Gonna dribble the basketball
And we're gonna take turns"
I caught the pass he through to me
Cause we were playing on the same team
I took a shot and scored
And then we scored some more
Shootin' the basketball
Dribblin' the basketball
And we took turns
He couldn't carry it all alone (on his own)
So I helped him carry it all the way home
Sometimes the stuff that we carry
It gets a little too heavy
Sometimes we need a helping hand
I can't always carry it all alone
Won't you help me carry it
