Pick a spot somewhere in the room and call it home. Each verse of this song

room changing directions whenever you wish. The challenge is to plan your
trip so you arrive home on time.
Stepping out on the town; stepping out on the town
But you must me home by eight
Stepping out on the town; stepping out on the town
Have a good time but be home by eight
(Spoken) One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
It's eight o'clock! Hope you made it back home
(Similarly)
Jumping out on the town; jumping out on the town
But you must me home by ten ...
Tiptoe out on the town; tiptoe out on the town
But you must me home by nine ...
Hopping out on the town; hopping out on the town
But you must me home by three ...
Running out on the town; running out on the town
But you must me home by twelve ...
It's twelve o'clock! Hope you made it back home
'Cause it's midnight, it's midnight,
and everyone should be back home.
