. . . Won't you come outside and play with me

Can you hear the children laughing

Laughing at the dawn

See their heads alive with colors

Living on and on

The endless dream of youth

Our unforeseen truth

Angels spreading their wings

And voices raised to sing

All day long it's in and out and up and down the stairs

Haven't got a problem or a worry or a care

In the morning watch cartoons

Out to play in the afternoon

Tell you what I say

it's a Shoobie - doobie la da da doo day

Shoobie - doobie la da da doo day

Won't you come outside with me and play

Shoobie - doobie la dad a doo day

Won't you come outside with me and play


Sitting on my front porch watching

from my rocking chair

My eyes are red my skin is wrinkled

gray spots in my hair

In the front yard children play

I call to them and wave

They just turn away

They never call my name

I'm not too old too play

Shoobie - doobie la da da doo day

Won't you come outside with me and play

Shoobie - doobie la dad a doo day

Won't you come outside with me and play

I know you think of me as an old man

Out of step with time

But I still hold the dreams of a young man

Deep inside my mind

And inside the - brightness it still - shines

the brightness it still shines

All you - see is the mask of - time

What I wear is the - mask of time

- (won't you come out and play)

Shoobie - doobie la da da doo day

Won't you come outside with me and play
