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
