lyrics
I’ve been waiting all morning
For this magic moment
When we line up and go outside
It’s not that school is boring
In fact, I really love it
It’s just that nothing beats this time
When I can see your smiling faces
When we can pick back up that epic game of chase
Playing with my Playground Crew
I really wanna play with you
“Attention, playground people! Camilla found a ball. We’re meeting at the wall today. All are welcome. See y’all there!”
Last week a new kid (last week a new kid)
Came and joined our classroom (she joined our classroom)
She seemed loney and kinda shy (she seemed nervous and kinda shy)
She spoke another language (ooh, impressive!)
A few kids were laughin’ at her (now that ain’t right)
At recess I saw her cryin’ (it’s okay to cry now)
So my friend said, “Have a heart” (Red Yarn! You really gotta have a heart)
“Go and ask her if she wants to be a part…”
Playing with my Playground Crew
I really wanna play with you
It’s my crew, it’s my squad.
Monkeying with monkey bars
Trading snacks, singing songs
On the swing set all day long
Jumpin’ off…Plop!
The sand is so soft!
We earned our degree from
The School of Soft Knocks
We on pigtails, mohawks, wheelchairs
We on head lice survivors
Sandbox McGuyvers
We on every tribe, mad vibes
All kids welcome
Come on, Red Yarn, I tried to tell em!
Playing with my Playground Crew
I really wanna play with you
Playing with my Playground Crew
(I’m playing with my playground crew, I really wanna play with you)
I really wanna play with you
(I’m playing with my playground crew, I really wanna play with you)
Playing with my Playground Crew
I really wanna play with you
