Story Behind The Song
I am a child psychologist and tap into the themes that are most salient for kids ages 3-10. This has been a favorite for kids everywhere.
Song Description
Kids have difficulty sometimes taking turns at who's in charge at any given time. This song addresses the win-win nature of sharing that role.

Lyrics
Follow and Lead
by Dr. Mac and Brian Mann
You like your music soft,
I like a beat that's loud,
And crank it up for dancing
With a crowd.
You like to play inside,
I like the open skies
Hey, why don't we just take turns
And compromise.
Be the leader, and I'll follow, (chorus)
Be the follower and I'll lead,
Take a chance, come dance with me,
We can follow and lead, follow and lead.
You like to do work first,
You like to do things fast,
I like to save the worst
Things for last.
I like to stand in front,
When we stand in line,
But if I'm always up in front
You're left behind.
Chorus
Switch around with one another.
Switch around and the fun begins.
Switch around with your sister and brother,
Switch around and everybody wins.
Chorus
