Musical Chairs

I've got an idea, let's play a game (Jasmine, I wanna play)
(Me too) okay, everybody listen

At a fancy event where they all put on airs
Or they're standing around with their cold 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 guests start to leave or just sit on the stairs
Before they're asleep like a bunch of 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's 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'll 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? Gotta 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 (I won)
