Work together?
That's the only way to save Athropolis...
Ka me, ka thee! I'll help you - and you help me!

Ka Me, Ka Thee*

*Ka Me, Ka Thee: A very old expression from hundreds of years ago. It means that if you help me, and I help you, we will be able to do something that we couldn't do on our own. It's like one hand washing the other so they both get clean.

I've got the butter...you've got the bread.
I've had a lonely feeling deep inside my head.
You come from frozen lands...I've got fire in the pan.
Come inside and warm your hands and keep me company.

I've got the needle...you've got the thread.
I see a rain cloud hanging up above your head.
Thread the needle with your hand. Line the clouds with silver sand.
Watch those raindrops when they dance...they keep us company.
Hear the song!

(Chorus Number 1)

Ka me, ka thee - hand in hand.
Ka me, ka thee - we understand.
With a little help we'll save this land,
So come along with me.

I've got the hammer...you've got the nails.
I've got a shovel made for filling up your pail.
And I have heard - many hands make easy work,
And many friends will soon return to keep us company.

(Chorus Number 2)

Ka me, ka thee - hand in hand.
Ka me, ka thee - we understand.
With a little help we'll save this land
So come along and lend a hand.
Ka me, ka thee - hand in hand.
Ka me, ka thee - we understand.
With a little help we'll save this land,
So come along with me.

Now we've got hammers...we've got nails.
And we've got shovels...we've got pails.
We've got butter...we've got bread.
And we've got needles...and now we've got lots and lots of thread!

(Sing Chorus Number 2 - TWO more times)

Ka me, ka thee - hand in hand.
Ka me, ka thee - we understand.
With a little help we'll save this land
So come along and lend a hand.
Ka me, ka thee - hand in hand.
Ka me, ka thee - we understand.
With a little help we'll save this land,
So come along with me.

Ka me, ka thee - hand in hand.
Ka me, ka thee - we understand.
With a little help we'll save this land
So come along and lend a hand.
Ka me, ka thee - hand in hand.
Ka me, ka thee - we understand.
With a little help we'll save this land,
So come along with me.
