High up on a house top
Why don’t you and I 
Build a little playground
Up in the sky

What a lot of sunshine
There’ll be by and by
In our little playground
Up in the sky

Laughter, there’ll be joy and laughter
Playtime morning, night and noon

High up on the housetops
Only you and I
In our little playground
Up in the sky
