Lyrics
PUT ME IN THE PLAYGROUND
WORDS & MUSIC:
MONTE THOMAS
CHORUS:
MOMMA SAID I WAS A WILD ONE
SHE NEVER COULD SLOW ME DOWN
I ALWAYS WANTED TO PLAY
SHE COULDN'T MAKE ME STAY
WITH BOTH FEET ON THE GROUND
CHORUS;
(AND I SAID) PUT ME IN THE PLAYGROUND, MOMMA
LET THlS YOUNG BOY SWING
IF I AIN'T HAVIN' FUN, THEN I AIN'T LIVIN'
GETTIN' INTO THE GAME IS WHAT LIFE'S ABOUT
PLEASE, JUST LET ME DOWN
PUT ME IN THE PLAYGROUND
VERSE: THE BASEBALL COACH SAID IN HIGH SCHOOL
I WAS TOO SMALL TO TRY OUT
WELL AT LEAST LET ME TRY
WAS MY REPLY
'CAUSE I'VE GOTTA PLAY SOMEHOW
CHORUS:
(AND I SAID) PUT ME IN THE PLAYGROUND, BUDDY
LET THIS YOUNG BOY SWING
IF I AIN'T HAVIN' FUN, THEN I AIN'T LIVIN'
GETTIN' INTO THE GAME IS WHAT LIFE'S ABOUT
PLEASE, DON'T LET ME DOWN
PUT ME IN THE PLAYGROUND
BRIDGE:
WELL, AT EIGHTEEN I FOUND MY TRUE CALLING
ON STAGE IN FRONT OF A CROWD
PEOPLE LOVED WHEN I SANG WITH A COUNTRY TWANG
I MADE MY MOMMA PROUD
CHORUS:
(SO) PUT ME IN THE PLAYGROUND MOMMA
LET THlS YOUNG BOY SWING
IF I AIN'T HAVIN' FUN, THEN I AIN'T LIVIN'
GETTIN' INTO THE GAME IS WHAT LIFE'S ABOUT
PLEASE, JUST LET ME DOWN
PUT ME IN THE PLAYGROUND
