==Lyrics==
Johnny:
You both wanna do such different things
Ginger:
Yeah, I wanna play basketball.
Basil:
I wanna read about shrubs.
Johnny:
And I would love to do both of them with you
But if I read while I play basketball
I'll lose my place or I'll trip and fall
So I think that there's only one thing we can do
You can take turns
Ginger:
Take turns? That doesn't sound like fun. Let's just play basketball!
Basil:
But what about my book?
Johnny:
Look, you guys. Taking turns isn't so bad. I'll show you.
Both of you sing something you like to sing
Basil / Ginger:
I love shrubs that are historical / I love basketball
Johnny:
Wow.
You gotta admit that didn't sound very good
Ginger:
No, it didn't.
Basil:
Well, I guess not...
Johnny:
But if you sing first
Ginger:
I love basketball
Johnny:
And you sing next
Basil:
I love shrubs that are historical
Johnny:
That sounded great
Just like I knew it would
'Cause you took turns
Ginger:
Well, that did sound pretty good.
Basil:
It did.
Johnny:
If you take turns then you both get to do what you want
Basil:
He's got a point.
Ginger:
What do you think?
Basil:
If we take turns then we both get to do
Your turn!
Ginger:
If we take turns then we both get to do
Your turn!
Johnny:
If you take turns then you both get to do what you want
Johnny, Basil, and Ginger:
If we take turns!
