Give a little time for the child within you,
Don't be afraid to be young and free
Undo the locks and throw away the keys

And take off your shoes and socks, and run you
La, la, la...


Give a little time for the child within you,
Don't be afraid to be young and free
Undo the locks and throw away the keys

And take off your shoes and socks, and run you

Run through the meadow and scare up the milking cows

Run down the beach kicking clouds of sand
Walk a windy weather day, feel your face blow away
Stop and listen: Love you


Roll like a circus clown, put away your circus frown
Ride on a roller coaster upside down

Waltzing Matilda, Carey loves a kinkatchoo
Joey catch a kangaroo, hug you


Dandylion, milkweed, silky on a sunny sky
Reach out and hitch a ride and float on by
Balloons down below blooming colors of the rainbow

Red, blue and yellow-green: I love you

Bicycles, tricycles, ice cream candy

Lollypops, popsicles, licorice sticks
Solomon Grundy, Raggedy Andy
Tweedledum and Tweedledee, home free


Cowboys and Indians, puppydogs and sandpails
Beachballs and baseballs and basketballs, too

I love forget-me-nots, fluffernutters, sugarpops
I'll hug you and kiss you and love you
La, la, la...


Love you
