Verse Two:
Oh, This is what I do, I'm special 42!
Oh, This is what I do, I'm special 42!

The children in the circle begin singing Verse Three and imitating the movement given to them by the participant inside the ring.

Verse Three:
Oh we can do it too, Special #42!
Oh we can do it too, Special #42!

The child in the center then closes his or her eyes and points their finger outward and spins (turns) while the children in the ring sing Verse Four:

Verse Four:
Oh who do you choose, Special #42?
Who do you choose, Special #42?

When verse four is finished, whichever child is pointed to is the next child to take the position in the center of the ring.
