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
