Where's the Playground, Johnny
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', what all the games were for?
And here we stand in a box of sand
Where's the playground, Johnny?
You're the one who's supposed to know his way around
Where's the playground, Johnny
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, Johnny
If I decide to let you go and play around?
Where's the playground, Johnny
If I don't stay around
If I don't stay around?
Where's the playground, Johnny?
You're the one who's supposed to know his way around
Where's the playground, Johnny?
With our toys scattered all around us here
The puzzle that we never found an answer for
Still asks us, darlin', what all the games were for?
And here we stand in a box of sand
Where's the playground, Johnny?
You're the one who's supposed to know his way around
Where's the playground, Johnny
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, Johnny
If I decide to let you go and play around?
Where's the playground, Johnny
If I don't stay around
If I don't stay around?
Where's the playground, Johnny?
You're the one who's supposed to know his way around
Where's the playground, Johnny?
