Pop Up Sit Down
There’s a song playing way up in my head.I can feel it working down in my toes.
I sing it out loud when I’m awake.
I snore it softly when I doze.
Whenever I think it’s about to shrink
It grows and grows and grows.
This song may never stop.
This is how it always goes...
Pop up.
Sit down.
Pop up.
Sit down.
Pop up, sit down.
Pop up, sit down.
Now wiggle around.
Now don’t make a sound.
Well it never goes away in the middle of the day,
And it lulls me to sleep at night.
It bounces me around when my feet are on the ground,
And lifts me to a dizzying height.
Sometimes it helps me feel laid back and loose
While the rest of the world is uptight.
You can sing along and you won’t go wrong
Because any way you sing it is right!
(Chorus)
This is a song about opposites.
I know you knew the same.
It doesn’t take a lot of work
To play the opposite game.
If I say “Stop,” you say, (audience:) “Go.”
If I say “Fast,” you say, (audience:) “Slow.”
If I say “Yes,” you say, (audience:) “No.”
If I say “Goodbye,” you say, (audience:) “Hello.”
(Chorus)
