Tic Tac Toe - Lyrics

A common version:

Tic tac toe, give me an X give me an O,
3 times around the world
Rock, Paper Scissors shoot,
Rock beats scissors,
Paper beats rock,
Scissors beats paper,
I win you loose,
Now you get a big fat bruise,
And give them a touch
With your pinky.


Another version:

Tic Tac, Toe,
Three in a row,
Rock, Paper, scissors and shoot,
Rock, Paper, scissors and shoot,
Rock, Paper, scissors and shoot!
I win,
You lose,
Now you have
A big fat bruise!


And one more version version:

Tic Tac Toe,
Going high,
Going low
Going criss-cross,
Lollipop, Catch a train,
Fly to Spain,
And back again,
Tic Tac Toe.


Yet another (short) version:

Tic Tac Toe,
Give me a high,
Give me a low,
Give me a three in a row,
Don't get hit by a UFO!
