Opposites are different - they're never the same

What is the opposite of down - up
Down is the opposite of up - is the opposite of down
- is the opposite of up
Chorus
What is the opposite of right - left -
What is the opposite of left - right
Left is the opposite of right - is the opposite of left
- is the opposite of right
Chorus
What is the opposite of sit - stand -
What is the opposite of stand - sit
Stand is the opposite of sit - is the opposite of stand
- is the opposite of sit
Chorus
What is the opposite of loud - quiet -
What is the opposite of quiet - loud
Quiet is the opposite of loud - is the opposite of quiet
- is the opposite of loud
Chorus
What is the opposite of big - small -
What is the opposite of small - big
Small is the opposite of big - is the opposite of small
- is the opposite of big
Now that we know opposites from singing them in class
Everybody stand up - we'll sing them really fast...
Repeat
