Playground twist,
The memories I missed,
Childish dreams that never went away

Childhood has gone,
It all went wrong,
Please daddy please,
Just let me be,

Grandmother is waiting,
Run into her arms,
Lullabies at bedtime,
Nightmares are real,

1, 2, 3, 4,
Open the door,
You know what for,

Playground Twist,
The memories I missed,
Childish dreams that never went away

Girl on a swing,
Such an innocent thing,
But innocence dies,
And her mother will cry

Daisy chains and laughter,
Of a summer long ago,
But now it's only winter,
And the magic is dead

1, 2, 3, 4,
Open the door,
You know what for,

Playground Twist,
The memories I missed,
Childish dreams that never went away
