When in trouble or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout.

About This Quote

This is a reference to the game of tag, where you try to out-run your game partner. The game starts when the first person catches someone and, by yelling “I’ve got you!”, begins playing the game. The second person must then find the first person and tag them before they can be tagged themselves. If you are ever in trouble or unsure what to do, try running in circles like this song suggests.
