We Go In and Out the DoorsWe jump in and out the front door,We jump in and out the front door,We jump in and out the front door,And make a doorbell sound.
We hop in and out the back door,We hop in and out the back door,We hop in and out the back door,Bend down and touch the ground.
We slide in and out the side door,We slide in and out the side door,We slide in and out the side door,And turn ourselves around.
We jump in and out the front door,We hop in and out the back door,We slide in and out the side door,And sit ourselves right down.
