Lyrics

Please Play

I’m just sitting here

Staring at nothing

Man, I’m bored to tears

I’ve got the whole day ahead of me

And not a single thing to do

My calendar’s clear

If you’re not too busy

Won’t you spend a little time

Just foolin’ around?

Don’t need a playdate

Or special occasion

Allow me to expound…

Please play

Let’s spend a little time together

Doesn’t matter if you’re young or old

Please play

You never know what could happen

It would be a sight to behold

Watch the funny business unfold

Let’s blow bubbles and try to pop everyone

Put on a puppet show

Start a collection of pebbles and bottle caps

Let’s make some cookie dough

Let’s go run around

Like jaguars in the backyard

Fly paper aeroplanes

Build a tiny town in a tent in the living room

In the time that remains.

Please play

Let’s spend a little time together

Let imagination take hold

Please play

You never know what could happen

As for me, I’m already sold

Watch the funny business unfold

Please play

Let’s spend a little time together

Let’s be spontaneous and bold

Why don’t we see what could happen?

It could lead to riches untold

Watch the funny business unfold

Please play

Let’s spend a little time together

Please play

Let’s spend a little time together

Please play

Let’s spend a little time together

Please play

Let’s spend a little time together

Please play
