Kids love to bring out all their toys but don’t want to put them back. Scattered toys, books, and stationery make a home messy. Additionally, there is a risk of tripping over a toy.
Clean up songs have been here for a long time, though there is no single main version. However, Barney’s Clean Up Songs have become popular, thanks to the TV show and the picture books based on the character.
Read on for not one but two clean up songs and a little more information about Barney, the purple dinosaur.
Written Lyrics
Clean up! Clean up! Everybody, everywhere.
Clean up! Clean up! Everybody do your share.
Clean up! Clean up! Everyone, everywhere.
Clean up! Clean up! Everyone do your share.
*****
Now it's time to put away
Everything that we took out.
When the room is nice and clean,
It makes us feel so proud.
We always clean-up, (clap) clean-up (clap, clap)
To show we really care.
We always clean-up, (clap) clean-up (clap, clap)
'Cause we like to do our share.
After we have had our lunch,
and meal-time's coming to an end.
We sure know it helps a bunch,
If we can all pitch-in.
We always clean-up, (clap) clean-up (clap, clap)
To show we really care.
We always clean-up, (clap) clean-up (clap, clap)
'Cause we like to do our share.
We always clean-up, (clap) clean-up (clap, clap)
To show we really care.
We always clean-up, (clap) clean-up (clap, clap)
'Cause we like to do our share.

Origins and History
The Clean Up song became famous when the Barney series entered the market. It was first a part of Campfire Sing Along and was titled Clean Up, Clean Up. The longer version of the song was used in eight shows of Barney & Friends.
Barney is a purple and green dinosaur who plays with his other dinosaur friends. The friendly dinosaur first appeared in 1988 in The Backyard Show. It is the main character of the TV series Barney & Friends.
Imagine a six or seven-foot tall dinosaur with a friendly smile and happy attitude. Barney was a hit with the kids as it made them engagingly learn new things. Barney was created by a former teacher, Sheryl Stamps.
Many actors played Barney over the years, and the dinosaur’s voice changed accordingly. The core concept remained the same. Barney was a darling of little children and loved by them. It taught kids to take up new activities, learn something different, and be good. The clean up songs are one such lesson/ activity that encouraged kids to clean up after play.
Dena Neusner authored a series of Barney Sing-along Stories in 2004. The picture books were illustrated by Darren McKee and published by Scholastic.
