[Verse 1]
You can sit here, but I can't sit a bit here now
(Not now)
'Cause now is the time to start up my song
Start feelin' alright, and stop feelin' all wrong

[Verse 2]
Gotta ride my bike past the root beer stand
(I have come out to play)
Purple squirt gun in my hand, and I'm here to stay
Oh, mommy, mommy, can't eat no more
(I have come out to play)
Gotta run outside that open door, and I'm here to stay

[Verse 3]
'Cause I have come out, come out to play
And now that I've come out, I'm here to stay
I've rushed and I've raced out, as fast as I can
And I've got the purple squirt gun back in my hand, yes

[Chorus]
(Yeah, yeah)
Buddy, I'm here to stay

[Verse 4]
You can sit more but I can't sit a bit more now
(Not now)
'Cause now is the time to ride my bike
Before the twilight turns into night
[Verse 5]
Gotta ride my bike past the root beer stand
(I have come out to play)
Purple squirt gun in my hand, and I'm here to stay
Oh, mommy, mommy, I can't eat no more
(I have come out to play)
Gotta run outside that open door, and I'm here to stay

[Verse 6]
Because I have come out, come out to play
And now that I'm outside, I'm here to stay
I've rushed and I've raced out, as fast as I can
And I've got the purple squirt gun back in my hand

[Chorus]
(Yeah, yeah)
Buddy, I'm hear to stay
(Yeah, yeah)
Buddy, I'm hear to stay

[Verse 7]
You can sit more, but I can't sit a bit more now
(Not now)
'Cause now is the time to stand in the clover
For rover, red rover, come on over
[Verse 8]
Gotta ride my bike past the root beer stand
(I have come out to play)
Purple squirt gun in my hand, and I'm here to stay
Oh, mommy, mommy, I can't eat no more
(I have come out to play)
Gotta run outside that open door, and I'm here to stay

[Verse 9]
Because I have come out, come out to play
And now that I'm outside, I'm outside to stay
I rushed and I raced out, as fast as I can
And I've got the purple squirt gun back in my hand

[Chorus]
Yeah
(Yeah, yeah)
Buddy, I'm here to stay
(Yeah, yeah)
Oh, well, I'm here to stay
