words and music by paul vance and lee pockriss

1)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
2)my name is michael, i've got a nickel, i've got a nickel shiny and new
i'm gonna buy me all kinds of candy, that's what i'm gonna do
3)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
4)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
<instrumental interlude>
Tag lines concurrent with background singers singing verses
two and four
Living in a world that i left behind
happy little children
in the playground in my mind
see the little children
see how they play in the playground in my mind
