lyrics

It starts with counting
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
You must prepare your mind
Get into a state of zen
You're about to embark on a difficult quest
One from which there will be
No time to rest
You don't know where they're hiding
'Cause it's you they're hiding from
And when you're done counting it's time to shout:
Ready or not here I come

Let's all play hide and seek
Every single game is unique
I know what you're gonna say
All you wanna do is play
Hide and seek

You know you're it and you must find someone
It seems like a big job but it's actually kind of fun
You see you're friend trying to hide behind a recycling bin
Then it hits you hey guess what, you're gonna win!
When you're it and you find someone . . . finally
then you get to shout out: Olly olly oxen free!

Let's all play hide and seek
Every single day of the week
I wanna play it all the time
It doesn't even cost a single dime to play
Hide and seek

Hide and seek, hide and seek
Let's all play
Hide and seek, hide and seek
Everybody loves
Hide and seek, hide and seek
I wanna play
Hide and seek, hide and seek
Everybody plays
Hide and seek, hide and seek
I'm gonna gonna play
Hide and seek, hide and seek

They are 2 guys (Mr. Hoo & Mr. E) who love playing quirky, funny, upbeat songs for kids & families. ... more

Magic Cardboard Ride
by Matt Clark

Matt Clark is our good pal (he played bass on many songs on "Junior"), and the ABC Guys joined him on several tracks, and Mr. Hoo produced many of the songs, and there's a song about Mr. Hoo on it. The Alphabeticians

This might be the coolest kid's album we've ever heard! We find ourselves listening to it over and over again, whether the kids are around or not. Awesome debut album! The Alphabeticians

Metamorphosis
by Mr. Hoo

Our own Mr. Hoo's debut solo CD! It has some Alphabeticians songs on it, and some Mr. Hoo originals. We may be biased, but we love it! The Alphabeticians
