The song is called "Playground in My Mind" by Clint Holmes. It is available on
one of those "Have a Nice Day" cd's from Rhino.

PLAYGROUND IN MY MIND (Paul Vance & Lee Pockriss) (Artist: Clint Holmes)

When this old world gets me down and there's no love to be found
I close my eyes and soon I find I'm in a playground in my mind
Where the children laugh and the children play and we sing a song all day
My name is Michael, I've got a nickel, I've got a nickel shiny and new
I'm gonna buy me all kinds of candy, that's what I'm gonna do
In the wonders that I find in the playground in my mind
In a world that used to be, close your eyes and follow me
Where the children laugh and the children play and we'll sing a song all day
My girl is Cindy, when we get married we're gonna have a baby or two
We're gonna let them visit their grandma, that's what we're gonna do
(My name is Michael, I've got a nickel, I've got a nickel shiny and new)
(I'm gonna buy me all kinds of candy, that's what I'm gonna do)
(My girl is Cindy, when we get married we're gonna have a baby or two)
(We're gonna let them visit their grandma, that's what we're gonna do)
Living in a world that I left behind, happy little children in the playground
in my mind
See the little children, see how they play in the playground in my mind. La la
la

Playground In My Mind

Artist: Clint Holmes (peak Billboard position # 2 in 1973)
Words and Music by Paul Vance and Lee Pockriss

1)When this old world gets me down and there's no love to be found


I close my eyes and soon I find I'm in a playground in my mind
Where the children laugh and the children play

And we sing a song all day

2)My name is Michael, I've got a nickel, I've got a nickel shiny and new


I'm gonna buy me all kinds of candy, that's what I'm gonna do

3)In the wonders that I find in the playground in my mind


In a world that used to be, close your eyes and follow me
Where the children laugh and the children play

And we'll sing a song all day

4)My girl is Cindy, when we get married we're gonna have a baby or two


We're gonna let them visit their grandma, that's what we're gonna do
