Lyrics[]
Junior: Are we almost there?
I got time to spare
So I sit and stare out the window just thinking
I am blessed you know
To be on the go
To have an opportunity
To practice waiting patiently
So let's play the waiting game
And this is how it goes
You stretch your legs and bounce your knees
And wiggle all your toes
Kids: We stretch our legs,
And bounce our knees
And wiggle all our toes
Archibald: Oh, what a lovely little game! Mind if I have a turn? Alright, follow along, everyone!
Yes, it helps to play the waiting game
When feeling all forlorn
Step on the gas, pretend to steer,
And loudly honk your horn
Kids: Step on the gas (Archibald: But not too fast!)
Pretend to steer (Turn left, turn right!)
And loudly honk your horn
Archibald: Oh, fantastic! (Kids: *make beeping noises*)
Pa Grape: Hey, hey, hey, hey! How about I have a turn here? I'm sittin' in the cheap seats. Come on, let me do it.
Oh, let's play the waiting game.
This one will be great
You clap your hands, shout hip hooray,
And try to count to eight.
Kids: We clap your hands,
Shout hip hooray, (Pa Grape and Kids: Hip hip hooray!)
And try to count to eight.
Pa Grape: Here we go!

Larry: Hey, look out there! It's a dog and a pig riding a bicycle! (gasp)
Hey, I've got an idea!
Making sounds is always fun!
Kids: Oink like a pig, bark like a dog
And say your favorite one.
Oink like a pig (Oink oink oink!)
Bark like a dog (bark bark bark)
And say your favorite one.
(overlapped talking starts here)
Larry: I wonder what sound a manatee makes. It goes like "blub-blub-blub" or kinda like one of those whales from Star Trek? I don't know. I wonder.
Kids: (various animal noises)
Junior: I love horses. (neighs)
(overlapped talking ends here)
Junior: The last verse of the waiting game
I'll think you like the best
You heave a sigh and close your eyes
And then you get some rest.
Kids: We heave a sigh (sigh)
And close our eyes
And then we get some rest.
Junior: I am blessed you know
To be on the go
To have an opportunity
To practice waiting patiently
(yawns)
