Songtexte NURSERY RHYMES - Luis M Aragon

Teeters and totters
Mothers and fathers
Hopscotch and jump rope
Go round and round

There was a time
Faces full of promise
Hands touching windows
See you around

Where are the playgrounds
Where are all the toys
Games with no losers
Good girls and boys

Grace before dinner
Where's the happy ending
Drinking and screaming
They've taken Jimmy
From nursery rhymes to prison time

When I was young
Nothing was impossible
But those years have passed
My dreams didn't last
And here is my life
Quarter to and half past

Light bugs and lemonade
Jimmy you're a bad boy
Where are the playgrounds
See you around

Light bugs and lemonade
Jimmy you're a bad boy
Grace me for dinner
They've taken Jimmy
From nursery rhymes to prison time

Light bugs and lemonade
Jimmy you're a bad boy
Grace before dinner
Games with no losers
They've taken him away

Teeters and totters
Hotdogs and lemonade
