Chorus:
1 and 1 and 1 are 3
Is it you or is it me?
We don’t cry or throw a fit
1 2 3 and you are IT!

Playing games just for fun.
We make room for everyone.
Everyone run and shout
We make sure no one’s left out.

Playing games teams we choose
We might win or we might lose
Playing games keeping score
Come on now let’s play some more.
