Lyrics
Can you think of words that are opposites
And then arrange them so they rhyme?
You put them in pairs, stick one here, switch one there
Just to pass the time
The words right and wrong, though they go with short and long
Change to short and tall
Then make right and wrong, wrong and right, add day and night
Put in big and small
Dark, lighter, loose, tighter, stay and leave and odd, even
Heads and tails
We're having fun rhyming opposites
Like over, under, pass and fail
Before, after, cries, laughter, sorrow, joy, or girl, boy
Below, above
Asleep and awake, give or take, or real and fake
How 'bout hate and love?
Ashamed, prouder, soft, louder, young and old
Or hot, cold, or empty, full
A smile and a frown, nothing, all, or lost and found
Maybe push and pull
Rhymes are words that tend to sound the same at the end
But start out differently
They begin with different letters, just like sweaters
Rhymes with Irish Setters, there you see
Well, I must confess that I'm out of breath
So what do you say we all take a rest?
Breathe in
Breathe out
And in
And out
In, out, in and out
If this were a test, you would have passed
Let's think of some more while taking one last deep breath
Arrive and depart, sit and stand, or finish, start
How 'bout down and up?
Or will, won't, or do, don't, or peace and war
Or rich, poor, or kitty, pup
Straight, curly, late, early, me and you
Or false, true, or wet and dry
Friend, foe, or fast, slow, or far and near
Or front, rear, or low and high
Opposites, opposites and rhymes
