Lyrics

Playground in My Mind

When this whole 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
Oh, yes, it's Michael
I got a penny
Shiny and new
I'm 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 need to be
Close your eyes and follow me

Where the children laugh
And the children play
And we sing a song all day

My name is Candy
When we get married
We're gonna have a baby or two
We're gonna let them
Visit their grandmas
That's what we're gonna do

Seen a lot of children
Living in a world that we love so well
Seen a lot of children
In the playground in my mind

In the playground in my mind
Seen a lot of children
