Hide and Seek
Somebody's Image Lyrics

The lyrics of Somebody's Image's song "Hide and Seek" is a playful and energetic expression of joy and fun that comes from playing a traditional game of "hide and seek". The song depicts the excitement of hiding and the anticipation of being found while playing the game. The song begins with the lyrics "Peeping 'round the corner of a little house, can you hear me? Gotta be as quite as a little mouse, can you hear me?" which highlights the sneaky nature of the game and how players must remain unnoticed while hiding.

The song goes on to describe the game's rules, with the lyrics "One two three, Four five six, Count to ten, Ready or not". These lyrics speak to the basic structure of the game of "hide and seek" and how the player who is "it" must count to a certain number before beginning their search for the other players. The chorus of the song describes the singer's love for the game, stating "How I love to play my hide and seek, How I love to play my hide and seek".

The second verse continues the theme of the player searching for the others who are hiding. The lyrics "Run into the garden of a willow tree, Can you hear me? Hiding in the highest branch that I can see, Can you hear me?" describe the search for a hiding player and the excitement that comes with discovering their hiding place. The chorus is repeated several times throughout the song, emphasizing the singer's love and enjoyment of playing "hide and seek".
