Lyrics
[Intro, spoken]

[Amanda]

Can you tell me where you saw Wooly? Is he behind this bush, this tree, or under this bo-- what? Wait, stop! I thought we were gonna play tag! Ugh... I don't want to play this game anymore. I said I don't want to!

[Wooly grunts as he falls out of the box. Amanda huffs.]

[Wooly]

Hahaha, you found me. Guess it's my turn, huh?

[Amanda]

No

[Wooly]

Huh? What are you talking about, Amanda? It's my turn-

[Amanda]

No! I don't want to play this game anymore!

[Wooly]

Amanda-

[Amanda]

DID YOU NOT HEAR ME?!-

[Verse One]

[Amanda]

Hi! My name’s Amanda!

What’s your name?

Oh, that sounds familiar…

Have we played this game?

Where one person hides and

You’ve gotta go find them

I’m looking for my friend

Wait, you think you see him?

In this tree, in this box

That’s a good hiding spot!

Gotta get this done

So we can have more fun!

[Wooly]

Hey look, you found me!

I guess it is my turn, huh?

[Amanda]

Or we could play another game! Maybе tag!

[Wooly]

Wait Amanda! I haven’t gotten a turn… can’t we just do onе more round of hide n seek?

[Amanda]

I guess… that’s only fair…

[(Amanda), Wooly]

(1, 2, 3, 4)

Uh… what comes next?

(2, 3, 4, 5)

Oh, right, you’re the best!

(6, 7, 8, 9)

You must play this a lot

(7, 8, 9, 10)

So ready or not, here I... come?

[Wooly]

Oh no! She could be anywhere! Do you see Amanda?

[Chorus - Amanda]

Now watch us play our part

Now watch us dance and sing

Don’t want to fall apart

Like kids who never seem to scream

We get to play all day

But can we play my way

Got another game

So can you try it with me?

[Post-Credits - Voices]

Close your eyes

Count to ten

Will you help me find my friend?

Is she here or is she there

I can’t find her anywhere!

[Wooly]

Amanda Amanda!

Oh…

Amanda Amanda!

[Verse Two]

[Amanda]

Hi, my name’s Amanda

Oh, hi! It’s you again!

We’re playing Hide-and-Seek

Seems like it never ends

Isn’t it getting boring?

We’d have more fun today

If we try something else

Put hide-and-seek away

[Amanda, Wooly]

I’ve been thinking how bout we play tag?

When i say YOU’RE IT and I run in zig-zag?

Can we be happy if we make believe

(Amanda.)

That we have a choice what you play with me?

(Amanda… Amanda!)

I’m ready to play it, I’m ready-

(Amanda!)

WHAT?

I know that you’re wanting to play tag but

It’s my turn now

It’s MY turn now!

IT’s mY turN now!

IT’S MY TURN–

I WANT TO PLAY SOMETHING ELSE!

[Chorus]

[Wooly]

Now watch us play our part

Now watch us dance and sing

Don’t let it break your heart

Just play along and never scre-

[Amanda screams]

[Amanda]

We get to play all day

But can we play my way?

Got another game

So can you try it with me?

[Bridge]

[Wooly, Amanda (Voices)]

(1, 2, 3, 4) (Close your eyes)

Is she just past this bush?

(2, 3, 4, 5) (Count to ten)

Or behind this old tree?

(6, 7, 8, 9) (Will you help me find my friend?)

I don’t think she’s down there

(7, 8, 9, 10)

Please, you must trust me!

(1, 2, 3, 4) (Is she here?)

I don’t wanna go in there

(2, 3, 4, 5) (Or is she there?)

(I don’t wanna go)

I don’t wanna go in there

(6, 7, 8, 9)

(I just wanna play my way)

I don’t wanna go...

(7, 8, 9, 10) (I can't find her anywhere...)

(I don’t wanna go

I just wanna go home)

[Wooly]

H-huh? (gasps)

[Amanda]

Looks like you found silly Mr. FOX!

[Chorus]

[Amanda]

Now watch him fall apart

Now watch him gush and bleed

He had a beating heart

That ended with a little scream!

Now we can play all day

And we will play my way

Made my own game

So, can you try it with me?

Now watch us rip apart

Now watch us dance agape

Puppets with beating hearts

And strings made of magnetic tape

We're cursed to play all day

But never play our way

Is there another game?

And could you try it for me?

[Voices]

(Close your eyes

Count to ten

Will you help me find my friend

Is she here?

Is she there?

I can’t find her anywhere!)

[Outro]

[Amanda]

(sighs) What was your favorite hiding spot?

[Wooly]

Th-that was my favorite hiding spot--

[Amanda]

Wait. Hold on. Is that...?

[Wooly]

Amanda? What-

[Amanda]

It is! It's... you...
