Can I Play Too?

[KID] Big red ball, a bouncy crew — me by the fence (what do I do?) Walk up close — step, step! — and watch a sec, ball rolls near... okay, here we go — yep!

Can I play too? (Can I play too?) Can I play too? (Can I play too?) Watch the game, wait a beat, then I smile and I — boom! — Can I play too? (hey!) Can I play too?

[KID] Swing goes up, swing goes back — I don't jump in, I watch the track. There's a little pause — that's my cue! — big bright smile: "Can I play too?"

[CROWD] YES! (yes!) YES! (yes!) [KID] Wait for the pause and I pass the test — [CROWD] YES! (yes!) YES! (yes!) [KID] Smile real big and I ask the rest!

Can I play too? (Can I play too?) Can I play too? (Can I play too?) Watch the game, wait a beat, then I smile and I — boom! — Can I play too? (hey!) Can I play too?

[KID] One breath in... and I call it loud — [CROWD] now you're running with the playground crowd! [KID] Can I play too? [CROWD] You CAN, you CAN! [KID] whoosh! — kick the ball across the sand!
