"Why Can't We Play?" is an original song by Theodore Seville. The song is part of the direct-to-video film Little Alvin and the Mini-Munks and is part of the Little Alvin and the Mini-Munks Soundtrack.

Lyrics

Theodore:
When we play we fade away into another land
Where no one says to brush our teeth
Or wash our dirty hands
Where dragons roar and witches soar
We will save the day
Tell me why, oh why can't we play?

Yesterday we rode our camels through the sandy dunes
Then we climbed aboard our rocket, headed for the moon
We traveled onto Neverland, where lost boys find their way
Tell me why, oh why can't we play?

Sometimes when the sky is gray, and we can't play outside
We climb upon our broomsticks and pretend that we can fly
But you don't want to fly with me, so I am feeling blue
'Cause I still want to fly away with you

In our world a magic wand can grant our every wish
In our world a toad becomes a prince with just one kiss
We live in castles full of treasures made of sticks and clay
Tell me why, oh why can't we play?
Tell me why, oh why can't we play?
