Open, open, open the door!
Close, close, close the door!
Knock, knock, knock on the door!
Who’s there? Who’s there?
Open, open, open the window!
Close, close, close the window!
Tap, tap, tap on the window!
Who’s there? Who’s there?
Open, open, open the box!
Close, close, close the box!
Shake, shake, shake the box!
What’s inside? What’s inside?
