When this old world gets me downAnd there's no love to be foundI close my eyes and soon I findI'm in a playground in my mindWhere the children laughAnd the children playAnd we sing a song all day
My name is MichaelI've got a nickelI've got a nickel shiny and newI'm gonna buy me all kinds of candyThat's what I'm gonna do
In the wonders that I findIn the playground in my mindIn a world that used to beClose your eyes and follow me
Where the children laughAnd the children playAnd we'll sing a song all day
My girl is CindyWhen we get marriedWe're gonna have a baby or twoWe're gonna let them visit their grandmaThat's what were gonna do
See the little childrenLiving in a worldThat I left behindHappy little childrenIn the playground in my mind
See the little childrenSee how they play so happyIn the playground in my mind
