We built those big adventure playgrounds in those pioneering days

 we used the best of timber constructed great walkways

 the kids came from the neighborhood from two to twenty one

 they swung upon those Tarzan swings oh boy did they have fun

  The streets were full of laughter in those bye gone days

 when the kids did all gather there to while their days away

 there were tiny tots and punks with bikes skin heads and greasers too

 little kids in fancy dress ans kids with just one shoe

  They built their wooden dens there and painted them real cool

 there were tall beams with commando nets

 with ramps and slides a few

  The games they played were roustabout run out and give chase

 there was laughter on the playgrounds then with smiles upon each face

 we used big tools and hammers with saws to cut and prime

 There were hordes of children playing there all having special time

 the leaders all wore long hair and the kids were satisfied

 no health and safety limits the just common sense ans rhymes.
