Play (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

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

Play, play, remember like it was yesterday

I was young and having fun playing all my cares away

Play, (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 bannister of our old stairs

Only for a moment I was in mid-air

And for that moment I, I really thought that I could fly

The very day my father told me of the fable

I wanted to be a knight of the king's round table

A saucepan in my hand and a spoon for a sword

Attention will prevail, returning with the holy grail

Play, (play,) play, (play,) imagine like it was yesterday

We were young and having fun playing all our cares away

Play, (play,) 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 Basset

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,) play, imagine like it was yesterday

We were young and having fun playing all our cares away

Play, (play,) 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

Make way, make way, nursery rhymes!

Georgie Porgie pudding pie

Kissed the girls and made them cry

When the boys came out to play

Georgie Porgie ran away

Oh I got one, I got one!

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick

Jack jumped over the candlestick

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

Three blind mice

Jack Sprat could eat no fat

They 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

Sing a song of sixpence

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

Play, (play,) play, (play,) imagine like it was yesterday

We were young and having fun playing all our cares away

Play, (play,) 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 of roses

A pocket full of posies

A tishoo, a tishoo

We all fall down
