playground in my mind
when this old world gets me down 
and there's no love to be found 

I close my eyes and soon 
I find I'm in a playing in my mind 
where the children laugh 
and the children play
And we sing a song all day


My name is Michael,
I've got a nickel,
I've got a nickel shiny and new
I gonna buy me all kinds of candy,
that's what I'm gonna do


in the wonders that I find 
in the playground in my mind
In a world that used to be, 
close your eyes and follow me
where the children laugh 
and the children play
And we'll sing a song all day


My girl is cindy,
when we get married
we're gonna have a baby or two 
we're gonna let them visit their grandma,
that's what we're gonna do
