Simon Says

Put your hands in the air (Simple Simon says)
Shake them all about (Simple Simon says)
Do it when Simon says (Simple Simon says)
And you will never be out (Simple Simon says)
I'd like to play a game
That is so much fun
And it's not so very hard to do
The name of the game
Is Simple Simon Says
And I would like for
You to play it too
Put your hands in the air (Simple Simon says)
Shake them all about (Simple Simon says)
Do it when Simon says (Simple Simon says)
And you will never be out (Simple Simon says)
If Simple Simon says
Put your hands on your hips
Let your backbone slip, Simon says
Simple Simon says
Put your hands on your hips
Let your backbone slip, Simon says
Put your hands on your head (Simple Simon says)
Bring them down by your side (Simple Simon says)
Shake them to your left (Simple Simon says)
Now shake them to you right
Ladies and gentlemen
The Ohio Express
Come on
Put your hands on your head (Simple Simon says)
Bring them down by your side (Simple Simon says)
Shake them to your left (Simple Simon says)
Now shake them to you right
Now that we have learned
To play this game with me
You can see it's not so hard to do
Let's try it once again
This time more carefully
And I hope the winner will be you
Clap you hands in the air (Simple Simon says)
Do it double time (Simple Simon says)
Slow it down like before (Simple Simon says)
Ahh you're lookin' fine (Simple Simon says)
Jump up high in the air (Simple Simon says)
Do it double time (Simple Simon says)
Slow it down like before (Simple Simon says)
Ahh you're lookin fine (Simple Simon says)
Puts you hands in the air (Simple Simon says)
Shake them all about (Simple Simon says)
Do it when Simon says (Simple Simon says)
And you will never be out (Simple Simon says)
