Is something I know
I've heard it from friend
And I've heard it from foe
"I dare you to do it"
Is simply a dare
And one I ignore
As if I don't care
"I dare you to touch it!"
Well who can resist
A puddle of mud
That goes up to your wrist
"I dare you to eat it!"
Who can say no
When asked to eat ants
Or bugs that glow
"I dare you to go
In that hole over there!"
And if I say no
I suppose I'm a square
Dares can be silly
Dares can be fun
But don't try to fool me
I won't be the one
I won't be the one
To fall for your scheme
I'll just say "You do it!"
And smile, serene
