Lyrics:
This is musical chairs
Go around and when the music stops, sit down
Round and round and round and round and round and round you go
Round and round and round and round where you stop we don’t know.
Round and round and round and round and round and round you go
Round and round and round and round where you stop we don’t know.
Stop, sit down
If you don’t find a chair it’s ok
Stop, look around
If you’re not sitting down back away
Musical Chairs, musical chairs
Who will be the last one to stay?
Repeat 7 times
Go around and when the music stops, sit down
Round and round and round and round and round and round you go
Round and round and round and round where you stop we don’t know.
Round and round and round and round and round and round you go
Round and round and round and round where you stop we don’t know.
Stop, sit down
If you don’t find a chair it’s ok
Stop, look around
If you’re not sitting down back away
Musical Chairs, musical chairs
You were the last one to stay, hooray!
You’re the winner of musical chairs today!
