where's the playground, johnny

Singer:bobbie gentry

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

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?
