lyrics

You are born and then you die, it’s oh so simple
And there are many many things stuck in between
But if you ask me on my deathbed what’s the secret
Of life…I’d say you just have to be keen
My advice each day is to play play play

If you play then you might win, it’s oh so simple
If you lose then you’ve lost nothing at all
And if you fall you can just get up continue
In life…I’d say you just have to call out each day
I’m gonna play play play!
Each day: I’m gonna play play play!

It’s not just for children
It’s for grown ups too
Sing and dance, love and fall forever
‘Cause if you never played
Then you would’ve never failed
And you wouldn’t be so clever

You may have some time left if you’re lucky
But your time may as well be cut short
If you focus on achievement, pressure and stuff
I would say ‘Abort’
My advice each day is to play play play
My advice each day is to play play play

It’s not just for children
It’s for grown ups too
Sing and dance, love and fall forever
‘Cause if you never played
Then you would’ve never failed
And you wouldn’t be so clever
