We Shall Not Be Moved

"We Shall Not Be Moved" was a song featured in the Recess episode "The Great Jungle Gym Standoff" when the jungle gym, Old Rusty, is about to be torn down. The kids climb on top of Old Rusty to prevent it from being destroyed. Later on in the song, the parents of the kids and some of the teachers climb up and sing the song as well.

It was performed by Ross Malinger, Pamela Adlon, Rickey D`Shon Collins, Jason Davis, and Ashley Johnson as T.J. Detweiler, Ashley Spinelli, Vince LaSalle, Mikey Blumberg, and Gretchen Grundler. Background singers in the episode (not the cassette version) include Klee Bragger, Ryan O'Donohue, Kath Soucie, Anndi McAfee, Rachel Crane, Francesca Smith, April Winchell, Allyce Beasley, and Toran Caudell.

A slightly different version of the song appeared on the Music of One Saturday Morning audio cassette.

Lyrics[]

We shall not, we shall not be moved
We shall not, we shall not be moved
Just like a tree that's planted by the water,
We shall not be moved!

We shall not, we shall not be moved
We shall not, we shall not be moved
Just like a swingset planted in a sandbox,
We shall not be moved!

We shall not, we shall not be moved,
We shall not, we shall not be moved
Just like a seesaw sat on by a real huge kid,
We shall not be moved!
