Lyrics for One To A Hundred
Out in the sun playing at the ball In the world of a child with no cares at all My friend said, "Let's play hide and seek Close your eyes and promise that you'll never peek" Close your eyes, count to a hundred One to a hundred I counted slow But I never did find where my friend had go Mum said she heard the other day "Your friend is gone so far away" Close your eyes, count to a hundred Soon comes the morning with the rising sun Playing at the ball had just begun "Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, have no fear" Sang a voice anew ringing in my ears Close your eyes, count to a hundred Why don't you come and play? Come and play hide and seek In the depths of the quarry You'll never find me there Come and catch me if you can Come and catch me if you can She will ask when I get home "What have you done today, my son?" Playing at the ball on the corner street With my friend I was out playing hide and seek Close your eyes, count to a hundred Close your eyes, count to a hundred
