Lyrics It Takes a Village - Raffi
What
does
it
take
for
a
baby
girl
to
grow
up
good
and
strong?
What
does
it
take
for
a
baby
girl?
What
does
it
take
for
a
baby
boy
to
grow
up
full
of
love?
What
does
it
take
for
a
baby
boy?
It
takes
a
village
It
takes
a
village
to
raise
It
takes
a
village
to
raise
a
child
It
takes
a
village
No
one
can
do
it
alone
It
takes
a
village
to
raise
a
child
And
in
the
early
years
of
life
What
does
a
newborn
need
to
be
whole
to
thrive
in
every
way?
In
these
crucial
early
years,
when
the
brain
is
growing
And
the
love
for
a
lifetime
takes
hold
It
takes
a
village
It
takes
a
village
to
raise
It
takes
a
village
to
raise
a
child
It
takes
a
village
No
one
can
do
it
alone
It
takes
a
village
to
raise
a
child
Not
just
parents'
love,
not
just
love
of
the
family
It
takes
all
of
this
and
more
Not
just
teachers
who
care,
not
just
the
care
of
doctors
It
takes
all
of
this
and
more
How
about
the
love
of
farmers?
How
about
the
business
people?
How
about
the
people
who
pass
the
laws?
How
about
the
corner
grocer?
How
about
your
next-door
neighbor?
It
takes
all
of
this
and
more
It
takes
a
village
It
takes
a
village
to
raise
It
takes
a
village
to
raise
a
child
It
takes
a
village
No
one
can
do
it
alone
It
takes
a
village
to
raise
a
child
It
takes
a
village
It
takes
a
village
to
raise
It
takes
a
village
to
raise
a
child
