I included the words "It is Fall" in the title of this pancocojams post because that's how I remembered the song. Those words are in the chorus of that song, but they aren't part of the song's title.

INFORMATION ABOUT YO GABBA  GABBA!
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yo_Gabba_Gabba!
"Yo Gabba Gabba! is an American children's television series starring five costumed toys come-to-life and their friend DJ Lance Rock. It is co-produced by Magic Store Productions and WildBrain. Its first episode premiered on Nickelodeon on August 20, 2007, as a part of its Nick Jr. block. The last episode premiered on November 12, 2015.

A single topic is addressed in each episode (such as "Adventure", "Friends", or "Dance") through songs and short storylines. Additionally, the show teaches children life and social skills, such as sharing and trying different foods. It also encourages viewers to move along with and dance with the characters in the program. The show is noted for its indie-culture guest stars and bands, and for drawing visual inspiration from 8-bit video games and H. R. Pufnstuf, among other television shows. Created by Christian Jacobs (lead singer of the Aquabats) and Scott Schultz, the show's learning process has parents, older siblings, and younger children watch the show together rather than letting it act as a babysitter. The television program spawned a touring live stage show, several toys, and branded clothing.

Hello, friends!
Something special is happening to the trees in Brobee land
The leaves of the trees have changed colors
and are falling to the ground.
Let’s look!

Brobee speaking- Whoa yo!
Wooh! The leaves are falling of the trees
Hey, everyone! Come and see, Whoa!

[The other toys arrive in the woods and exclaim - “Whoa!

[Todee begins to sing with DJ Lance shown dancing in his area.]
The leaves are falling
All the other toys - Wow!

Todee-  It’s that time of year
That the leaves all fall.

All the other toys- Yeah!

The leaves are falling everywhere.
It is Fall.
It is Fall.

Plex -  When the wind starts to blow
all the trees around
All the other toys- It’s Fall!
Muno - Then the leaves turn orange
and they fall to the ground.
All the other toys - It’s Fall!
Foofa - And all the colors are so fun to see
All the other toys- It’s Fall!
Todee - Let’s make a big old pile of leaves!
All the other toys - That means it’s Fall! [DJ Lance Rock shown in his area holding a little purple weed]
