Oh, we take turns (Oh, we take turns)
When we play with toys, (When we play with toys)
'Cause that's what's right ('Cause that's what's right)
For girls and boys. (For girls and boys)

Oh, we take turns
When we play with toys,
'Cause that's what's right
For girls and boys.
Oh, we take turns
When we play with toys.


Oh, we take turns (Oh, we take turns)
When we play a game, (When we play a game)
'Cause that's a rule ('Cause that's a rule)
That stays the same. (That stays the same)

Oh, we take turns
When we play a game,
'Cause that's a rule
That stays the same.
Oh, we take turns
When we play a game.

Oh, we take turns (Oh, we take turns)
So we'll all have fun, (So we'll all have fun)
And we include (And we include)
Everyone. (Everyone)

Oh, we take turns
So we'll all have fun,
And we include
Everyone.
Oh, we take turns
So we'll all have fun.

Oh, we take turns
So we'll all have fun,
And we include
Everyone.
Oh, we take turns
So we'll all have fun.

Oh, we take turns (Oh, we take turns)
In school each day, (In school each day)
That makes it fun (That makes it fun)
For work and play. (For work and play)

Oh, we take turns
In school each day,
That makes it fun
For work and play.
Oh, we take turns
In school each day.

Oh, we take turns (Oh, we take turns)
When we're helping out, (When we're helping out)
'Cause that's what friends ('Cause that's what friends)
Are all about. (Are all about)

Oh, we take turns
When we're helping out.
'Cause that's what friends
Are all about.
Oh, we take turns
When we're helping out.

Oh, we take turns (Oh, we take turns)
So we'll all have fun, (So we'll all have fun)
And we include (And we include)
Everyone. (Everyone)

Oh, we take turns
So we'll all have fun,
And we include
Everyone.
Oh, we take turns
So we'll all have fun.

Oh, we take turns
So we'll all have fun,
And we include
Everyone.
Oh, we take turns
So we'll all have fun.
