Willy Russell Kids' Game Lyrics

[CHILDREN]
Nah nah nah nah nah!
Nah nah nah nah nah!

[SAMMY]
I got ya
I shot ya
And ya bloody know I did
I got ya
I shot ya

[LINDA]
I stopped it with the bin lid!

[CHILDREN]
You know that if you cross your fingers
And if you count from one to ten
You can get up off the ground again
It doesn't matter
The whole thing's just a game

[MICKEY]
What are we gonna play now?

[LINDA]
Gangsters!

[CHILDREN]
Yeah!
Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah
Ah!

[PERKINS]
Me name is Elliot Ness
And, lady, here's my card
I'm lookin' for one Al Capone
Mike, you check out the back
Sarge, you check the yard

[DONNA MARIE]
But, pal, I've told ya Al ain't home

[PERKINS]
Oh yeah?
Bang bang bang!
So, lady, can I use your telephone?

[CHILDREN]
You know that if you cross your fingers
And if you count from one to ten
You can get up off the ground again
It doesn't matter
The whole thing's just a game

[SAMMY] Cowboys!
When I say draw
You'd better grab that gun
And maybe say a little prayer
'Cause I'm the fastest draw
That, man, you ever saw
Call up your woman
Say goodbye to her

[DONNA MARIE]
Oh, Shane!

[SAMMY]
'Cause you know you're going right down there

[CHILDREN]
Indians!
But you know that if you cross your fingers
And if you count from one to ten
You can get up off the ground again
It doesn't matter
The whole thing's just a game

[SAMMY]
Haha!
My name's Professor Howe
An' this bomb I hold
It can destroy ze hemisphere
I've primed it
I've timed it
To explode
Unless you let me out of here

[CHILDREN]
No!

[SAMMY]
No?
Then I suggest you cover up your ears

[LINDA]
But you know that if you cross your fingers

[LINDA and DONNA MARIE]
And if you count from one to ten

[CHILDREN]
You can get up off the ground again
It doesn't matter
The whole thing's just a game
The whole thing's just a game
The whole thing's just a game!
