Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
The end has come and found us here With our toys scattered all around us here The puzzle that we never found an answer for Still asks us, darlin', just what all the games were for And here we stand in a box of sand Where's the playground Susie? You're the one who's supposed to know her way around Where's the playground Susie If I don't stay around? If I don't stay around? The carousel has stopped us here It twirled a time or two and then it dropped us here And still you're not content with something about me But what merry-go-round can you ride without me To take your hand How would you stand? Where's the playground Susie If I decide to let you go and play around? Where's the playground Susie If I don't stay around? If I don't stay around? Where's the playground Susie? You're the one who's supposed to know her way around Where's the playground Susie If I decide to let you go and play around?
