Stop!
sung by Gordon (Matt Robinson)
Music and Lyrics by Joe Raposo
Oh make believe that you are swimming in the deep blue sea
And there's no one else around
Your arms are really working and you're swimming real hard
And your feet can't touch the ground
Yeah you're really goin' at it and you're having a ball
And then you hear this sound..... BUZZ!
That means stop!
Ring!
Now make believe that you're a monster and you're really mean
And you're jumping up and down
You're making monster noises and you're growling really loud
You're scaring everyone in town!
Yeah you're really bein' scary and you're having a ball
And then you hear this sound......BUZZ!
Now STOP! Don't move a muscle!
Ring!
Now make believe that you're a birdie and you're flyin' high
You're way above the ground!
Your wings are really flappin' and you're goin' real good
And you're never comin' down
You're feelin just as happy as a birdie can feel
And then you hear this sound....Buzz!
Don't flap a wing, don't move a muscle
Just STOP!
