My baby left town and the mule laid down and died
My baby left town and the mule laid down and died
Baby left town, I laid down and cried

One, two, three four, five, six, seven, eight, nine ten
Red light, red light... red light, red light

Venus was a woman, she had a whole lot of charms
She got so much huggin', she wore out both her arms
Red light, red light

Columbus was an explorer, the greatest of his day
But he got all mixed up in Brooklyn and the poor guy lost his way
Red light, red light

Napoleon was a soldier, the greatest ever seen
But he learned all his manoeuvres along along with Josephine
Red light, red light

King Arthur was a hero, he was known everywhere
He had a round round table cause he couldn't stand, he couldn't stand, he couldn't stand a square
Red light, red light
Red light, red light.
