Opposite Song

In and out,
Up and down,
Standing still,
Or spinning around,
The world is full of opposites, see what opposites can be found!

Yes and no,
Stop and go,
Fast and slow,
Above and below,
Opposites, opposites,
All of these things are opposites.

Oh no it's starting to rain.

Wet and dry,
Laugh and cry,
Low and high,
Because and why,
Hot and cold,
Young and old,
Shy and bold,
This is what we're told.

Opposites, opposites,
All of these things are opposites.
No they aren't. Yes they are!

We can't have one without the other,
If we didn't go in, we couldn't go out!
It's fun when we discover,
That the opposite of whispering,
Whisper, whisper, whispering,
Is when we SHOUT!

Opposites, opposites,
All of these things are opposites.

Jump up high,
Crouch down low,
Say goodbye! "Goodbye!"
And then hello! "Oh, hello!"
Tap your head,
Then tap your toe,
Sleep in your bed,
Then get up and go, go, go, go!

In and out,
Up and down,
Standing still,
Or spinning around,
The world is full of opposites.

Lots of opposites,
In, out, in, out.
Lots of opposites,
Stand still, turn around.
Lots of opposites to be found.

Tamba you can stop now!
