When I hear children at play Memories come from far away Taking me, holding my hand To the playground wonderland See-saw, lifting you high Swings that let you touch the sky Then, whenever you're through Painted ponies wait for you It's a world, summertime free Where else would you rather be? With a friend there at your side Up you climb and down you slide When I hear children at play (I love to play in the playground) (Every time I go, I know that I'll find a friend) Memories come from far away Taking me, holding my hand (I want to stay in the playground) (When I'm there, I wish that it would never end) To the playground wonderland Taking turns, learning to share Jungle Jim or teddy bear Hide and seek, counting to ten Oh, to play there once again See-saw, lifting you high Swings that let you touch the sky Then, whenever you're through Painted ponies wait for you When I hear children at play (I love to play in the playground) (Every time I go, I know that I'll find a friend) Memories come from far away Taking me, holding my hand (I want to stay in the playground) (When I'm there, I wish that it would never end) To the playground wonderland To the playground wonderland
