Lyrics
Can you remember back when you were young?

When all the simple things you did were so much fun

You got lost somewhere along the way

You've forgotten how to play, every single day

Am I right?

I remember back when I was just a boy

I got a gun and holster for a Christmas toy

Pretending to be a cowboy was the very best

Cause I was always the fastest gun in all the West

I'd play

Play

Remember like it was yesterday

I was young and having fun

Playing all my cares away

Play, play, remember and you will see

The world is so mysterious and wild

When you start to see it through the eyes of a child

Mr. Cromer. Surely you must have a childhood memory...?

There's a memory that I could share

Of flying down the banister of our old stairs

Only for a moment, I was in mid-air

And for that moment I, I really felt like I could fly

The moment that my father told me of the fable

I wanted to be a knight of the King's Round Table

A saucepan on my hand and a spoon for a sword

I'd venture and prevail, returning with the holy grail and

Play, play

Imagine like it was yesterday

We were young and having fun

Playing all our cares away

Play, play

Remember and you will see

The world is so mysterious and wild

When you start to see it through the eyes of a child

Miss Bassett!

I used to dream I was a ballerina

And I was a gladiator in a large arena

I used to dream Prince Charming would one day be mine

It would seem you've had an imagination all this time!

Play, play

Imagine like it was yesterday

We were young and having fun

Playing all our cares away

Play, play

Remember and you will see

The world is so mysterious and wild

When you start to see it through the eyes of a child

Georgie porgie, puddin' pie

Kissed the girls and made them cry

When the boys came out to play

Georgie Porgie ran away!

I've got one! I've got one!

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick!

Jack jumped over the candle stick

Mary, Mary quite contrary

How does your garden grow?

Old King Cole was a merry old soul

And a merry old soul was he

Hickory dickory dock

The mouse ran up the clock

The clock struck one

Old Mother Hubbard!

Peas pudding hot!

Three blind mice!

Jack Sprat could eat no fat

Na na na na na na na

We all fall

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

Humpy Dumpty had a great fall

All the king's horses and all the king's men

Couldn't put Humpty together again

One, two, buckle my shoe!

Three, four, shut the door!

Five, six, pick up the sticks!

Woah, woah, here we go!

Sing a song of six pence

A pocket full of rye

Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie

London bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down

London bridge is falling down

Oh!

Play, play

Imagine like it was yesterday

We were young and having fun

Playing all our cares away

Play, play

Remember and you will see

The world is so mysterious and wild

When you start to see it through the eyes of a

Ring-a-ring-a rosey

A pocket full of posey

A tissue, a tissue

We all fall down!
