1. When you catch a case of wigglies and you can’t sit still
Let’s go to the playground
Grab your favorite hat and your dog named Bill
Let’s go to the playground
When your inside voice just has to come out
Let’s go to the playground
Head to the place you can scream and shout
Let’s go to the playground
Chorus
It’s got slides and swings and a merry go round
You can make mud pies in the cool cool ground
Go by yourself, take your best friend, too
Stay for a minute or the whole day through
2. When you get new sneakers and your gotta break ‘em in
Let’s go to the playground
And your trusty old bike has to go for a spin
Let’s go to the playground
When it finally stops raining and you see the sun
Let’s go to the playground
You’ve been stuck in the house and you gotta go run
Let’s go to the playground
Chorus
Bridge
Everybody’s leavin’ ‘cause it’s gettin’ kinda dark
And it’s not too cool to hang out in the park
Say goodbye to your pals for today
Let them know you’ll be back to play
Did you ever wonder what the swings did all night?
Do they go real high in the pale moonlight?
Give each other underdogs – could be true
Maybe they sleep just like you do…
3. Gotta sleep fast so tomorrow can come
Let’s go to the playground
Pack up your stuff and get ready for fun
Let’s go to the playground
Call all your friends, have ‘em meet you there
Let’s go to the playground
Winter, spring, summer, fall – we don’t care
Let’s go to the playground
Chorus
