When this old world gets me down
And theres no love to be found
I close my eyes and soon I find
Im 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`ve got a nickel
Ive got a nickel shiny and new
Im gonna buy me all kinds of candy
Thats what Im gonna do
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 well sing a song all day
My girl is Cindy when we get married,
Were gonna have a baby or two
Were gonna let them visit their grandma
Thats what were 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 theyre playing so happy
In the playround in my mind
La la la .....
