Cat’s Cradle

String between our fingers tight Loop it once and pull it right Laughing while the patterns grow Watch the little ladders show Twist it here and cross it there Magic shapes appear in air Every turn a brand new start String and giggles work of art Pre-Chorus Pull and pass, don’t let it fall We can build a world so small Chorus Cat’s cradle, round we go Twist the string and watch it glow Fingers tangled, don’t pretend This fun game will never end Cat’s cradle, laugh and spin Pass the magic back again Little loops that twist and bend Better when you play with a friend Verse 2 Ladders climbing in the string Tiny diamonds start to swing Every move a brand new surprise Patterns dancing before our eyes Pull it gently, hold it slow Watch the woven pathways grow Every turn another cheer When the next design appears Pre-Chorus Pass it over, catch the line Now the pattern’s mine then thine Chorus Cat’s cradle, round we go Twist the string and watch it glow Fingers tangled, don’t pretend This fun game will never end Cat’s cradle, laugh and spin Pass the magic back again Little loops that twist and bend Better when you play with a friend Bridge Up the ladder, through the star Funny how the shapes we are Just a string and two small hands Building worlds like secret plans Final Chorus Cat’s cradle, round we go Watch the tiny patterns grow Laughing till the very end Best when played with a friend Cat’s cradle, twist and play Make a little world today Every loop a story penned Fun that never, never ends.
