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
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
