Playland 1906

Playland is a land of nowhere,
A strange little world all apart,
Where bold deeds are done,
And maidens are won,
with tales that are real works of art.
Playland is so wondrously fair
with heroes, so brave and so strong,
where all gaily dance,
and sweetly entrance,
with the silvery notes of their song.

For it's Playland, Playland,
Our dearly beloved old gay land,
where the spirits of mirth
make of care such a dearth,
that all wrinkles and frowns fade away.
It is Playland, Playland,
our dearly beloved old gay land,
where lover's sweet story
and deeds crowned with glory
are part of the land of the play.

Playland is a land of no care
where old Father Time holds sway,
where love is supreme
and life's one sweet dream,
all in tune with the music so gay.
Never e'en a thought of the morrow
'tis gladness alone for today,
where faces are bright
and hearts ever light
as we pass thro' the land of the play.

For it's Playland, Playland,
Our dearly beloved old gay land,
where the spirits of mirth
make of care such a dearth,
that all wrinkles and frowns fade away.
It is Playland, Playland,
our dearly beloved old gay land,
where lover's sweet story
and deeds crowned with glory
are part of the land of the play.
