The Dead Milkmen
Musical Chairs
[Verse 1]
You better take a seat
Or else you will be beat
You can’t rely on friends
After the music ends
Eliminate the weak
You’re on a winning streak
You must not delay
If you want to play

[Chorus]
Musical chairs
Where will you be when the music stops?
Musical chairs
What will you do when the needle drops?

[Verse 2]
You must be quick to act
Nobody’s got your back
If you can’t sit down
You’ll have to leave this town
And you mustn’t share
It’s just a single chair
It’s not a bench or pew
A seat for one, not two
[Chorus]
Musical chairs
Where will you be when the music stops?
Musical chairs
What will you do whеn the needle drops?

[Bridge]
Musical chairs
Life is not fair
Whеn you play
Musical chairs

[Verse 3]
Eliminate the weak
You’re on a winning streak
You must not delay
To have another play
You must compete
If you want a seat
If you are too slow
Then you’ll have to go

[Chorus]
Musical chairs
Let’s all stand up for sitting down
Musical chairs
We’re all getting dizzy going ‘round and ‘round
[Bridge]
Musical
Musical chairs
You must not share when we play
Musical chairs
Life is not fair
In musical chairs

[Verse 4]
They increased demand
And reduced supply
You don’t even bother
To ask why
You have no time to run
Your chair’s been folded, son
Must you leave this place?
Let’s go to outer space

[Chorus]
Musical chairs
Where will you be when the music stops?
Musical chairs
What will you do when the needle drops?
