Child's play makes a child's day
Put that smile on a child's face
There ain't nothin' that seals your fate
A child does what a child can and
He may turn to a tired man and
He might act like a child then
Well, I'm gettin' tired of the trials
That I'm facin' everyday
I'm sayin', why can't I retire?
I've been through enough already
But I'm a grown man and I still have enough of a child's brain
I think I could use a day outside just dancin' in the rain
So whatcha say now?
Why don't we take a greyhound?
Make our way to our hometowns
Find ourselves on that same old playground?
Hey now, it's child's play now
I can't complain now
I made it out alright
Nine to five just stay alive
Not a thing I can justify
Not a thing I can ration
Just another problem of the adult mind
I lost my imagination
And you can see I've been frustrated
So come along, don't keep me waiting
(waiting, waiting)
Well, I'm gettin' tired of the trials
That I'm facin' everyday
I'm sayin', why can't I retire?
I've been through enough already
But I'm a grown man and I still have enough of a child's brain
I think I could use a day outside just dancin' in the rain
So whatcha say now?
Why don't we take a greyhound?
Make our way to our hometowns
Find ourselves on that same old playground?
Hey now, it's child's play now
I can't complain now
I made it out alright
