[Verse 1]
Everybody wants to dance in a playpen
But nobody wants to play in my garden
I see the hippies on an angry line
Guess they don't get my meaning

[Verse 2]
I'm enchanted by the birds and my bossoms
I'm enamored by young lovers on the weekend
I like the Fourth of July
When bombs start flashing

[Verse 3]
And I wish I had a shiny red top
A bugle with a big brass bell would cheer me up
Or maybe something bigger that could really go "pop"
Then I could make the gardening stop

[Chorus]
Come out to play (Come out to play)
Come out to play
And we'll pretend it's Christmas Day
In my atomic...

[Verse 4]
All my scientists are working on a deadline
So my psychologist is working day and night time
They say they know what's best for me
But they don't know what they're doing
[Verse 5]
And I'm glad I'm not Gorbachev
'Cause I'd wiggle all night like jelly in a pot
At least he's got a garden with a fertile plot
And a party that will never stop

[Chorus]
Come out to play (Come out to play)
Come out to play
And we'll pretend it's Christmas Day
In my atomic...

[Bridge]
I hope there's nothing wrong out there
I'm watching from the room, inside my room

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Come out to play (Come out to play)
Come out to play
And we'll pretend it's Christmas Day
In my atomic... Garden!

[Guitar Solo]
