[Intro]
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Eleven, twelve

[Chorus]
When I hear children at play
Memories come from far away
Taking me, holding my hand
To the playground wonderland

[Refrain]
Seesaw lifting you high
Swings that let you touch the sky
Then whenever you're through
Painted ponies wait for you

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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 the day would never end)
To the playground wonderland
[Verse 2]
Taking turns, learning to share
Jungle Jim or teddy bear
Hide and seek, counting to ten
Oh, to play there once again

[Refrain]
Seesaw lifting you high
Swings that let you touch the sky
Then whenever you're through
Painted ponies wait for you

[Chorus]
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 the day would never end)
To the playground wonderland
To the playground wonderland (To the playground wonderland)

[Outro]
Tag, you're it
