I've got an idea, let's play a game |
|
Okay everybody listen |
|
At a fancy event where they all put on airs |
|
Or they're standing around with their frozen stares |
|
What lightens the night and the burden one bears |
|
Is a game of musical chairs |
|
When the party drags on, no one plays, no one cheers |
|
When the guest start to leave or just sit on the stairs |
|
Before they're asleep like a bunch old bears |
|
Start a game of musical chairs |
|
Line up the chairs and find all your friends |
|
Someone stops the music |
|
And you must be sitting or else you're out |
|
That's what musical chairs is all about |
|
Skip, dance, parade or prance |
|
The chances are you'll win |
|
If an empty chair is right there |
|
Where you could plop right in |
|
Walk sing do anything |
|
Try spinning round like tops |
|
Just be right there by an empty chair |
|
When the music stops |
|
Each time there is one less chair |
|
There's one less playing too |
|
But if you're not late and you concentrate |
|
It won't be you |
|
You mustn't blink 'cause in a wink |
|
You'll see how the whole game can change |
|
If you're still standing when the music's through |
|
You do look strange |
|
Find a chair, the music could stop at any moment |
|
You never know if fast or slow |
|
Will win you the prize |
|
Just listen closely and just hope mostly |
|
There's no surprise |
|
Faster the music plays |
|
The one who stays around |
|
Is the one who hits the chair when he sits |
|
And not the ground |
|
Where did the chairs all go |
|
Almost no place to sit |
|
Wait, there's still one chair |
|
Can you make it there? Better get to it |
|
Oh no, she's got it, whoa, she slipped |
|
He tripped, who's in? |
|
But there's something wrong, they've stopped the song |
|
You're sitting, she's quitting |
|
You're the last one with the chair, you win |
