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
