Sing-song

Ever since hearing this song on an episode of Malcolm in the Middle many years ago, I've loved this song. Google isn't helping me--does anyone know the artist? They sound kinda like They Might Be Giants.

Nice is Good, Mean is Bad

Hold my hand, walk with me
I need you to hold my hand
And walk to a magic land

Nice is good, mean is bad
Don't be mean 'cause mean is bad
Nice is better than mean

Hugs are good, thugs are bad
Don't be a thug 'cause thugs are bad
Hugs are better than thugs

Smart is good, dumb is bad
Don't be dumb 'cause dumb is bad
Smart is better than dumb

Love is good, hate is bad
Don't you hate 'cause hate is bad
Love is better than hate

Love is better than hate

Pet my fur, touch my tail
I need you to touch my fur
And to touch my tail

Nice is good, mean is bad
Don't be mean 'cause mean is bad
Nice is better than mean

Smart is good, dumb is bad
Don't be dumb 'cause dumb is bad
Smart is better than dumb

Smart is better than dumb

Sharing's great, sharing's neat
I want you to share your stuff
In my magic house

Nice is good, mean is bad
Don't be mean 'cause mean is bad
Nice is better than mean

Nice is better than mean
