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 playground in my mind
Where the children laugh and the children play
And we sing a song all day



"My name is Michael, I got a nickel
I got a nickel, shiny and new
I`m gonna buy me all kinds of candy
That`s what I`m gonna do"



Oh 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 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"



See the little children
Living in a world that I left behind
Happy little children
In the playground in my mind



See the little children
See how they`re playing so happy
In the playground in my mind



Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
