The story behind this song
He drafted every dinosaur into one enormous team and asked who's going to play defense with him. The request took about nine months to process.
This is the team-meeting song: a rookie joins the roster, the old bear comes back on duty, and the captain learns the news mid-chorus. First string. Starting lineup. Forever.
Lyrics
team meeting. Big news.
into one enormous team,
you asked us just last Tuesday
who's gonna play defense with you.
Well, we put in a request —
took about nine months to process.
Read it and jump.
That's a title, wear it proud.
There's a rookie on the roster
who'll copy you out loud.
So stand tall, little captain — show 'em how it's done.
You're the big brother now.
how to build the tallest towers,
the one who guards the night-light,
the expert on the stairs.
Your old crib's getting dusted off,
your old bear's back on duty —
you get to do the handoff.
That's a title, wear it proud.
There's a rookie on the roster
who'll copy you out loud.
So stand tall, little captain — show 'em how it's done.
You're the big brother now.
We know. We'll get more.
Some things a big brother
just has to pass down himself.
First string. Starting lineup. Forever.
