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.

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
