Run! Run! Run down the hall!
Cut the corner, and dodge the wall!
Quick! Quick! You haven’t but a second!
To deliver the message of what you saw.

Run! Run! Run down the hall!
Dodge the toys, and don’t you fall!
Quick! Quick! You haven’t but a second!
To get the phone, and call, call, call!

Run! Run! Run down the hall!
Throw something at him!
How bout a ball?
Quick! Quick! You haven’t but a second!
To deliver the message of what you saw.

Run! Run! Up the stairs!
Go up them, pair by pair!
Quick! Quick! You haven’t but a second!
Why me?
Despair! Despair!

Run! Run! Run in the room!
Get your children! Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!
Quick! Quick! You haven’t but a second!
He’s got a gun! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Run! Run! Run back down!
Faster! Faster! Without a sound!
Quick! Quick! You haven’t but a second!
Go! Go! Don’t be found!

Run! Run! Run out the door!
Faster! Faster!
Soar! Soar! Soar!
Quick! Quick! You haven’t but a second!
He’s shooting! He’s shooting! Hit the floor!

He does it once!
He does it twice!
He does it more!
Oh no!
Score! Score! Score!

Quick! Quick! You HAD only a second!
