In the playground, come and play
We'll have fun every single day
With our hair in braids or curly swirls
We're all different boys and girls

Some have hair that's spiky and wild
Others keep theirs neatly styled
Some have hair that's straight as a pin
Others let theirs flow in the wind

We'll climb the slide and swing up high
We'll jump and play and reach for the sky
With our hair bouncing all around
We'll laugh and play and dance to the sound

So come and join us, one and all
We'll have a blast, we'll have a ball
With our hair so different and unique
We'll be the coolest kids on the street.
