I Have Come Out to Play Songtext
von Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers

You can sit here but I can′t sit a bit here now (not now)
Cause now is the time to start up my song
Start feeling all right and stop feelin all wrong

Gotta ride my bike past the rootbeer stand
(I have come out to play)
Purple squirt gun in my hand and I'm here to stay
Mommy mommy can′t eat no more
(I have come out to play)
Gotta run outside that open door and I'm here to stay
Cause I have come out, come out to play
And now that I'm outside, I′m here to stay
I′ve rushed and I've raced out as fast as I can
And I′ve got the purple squirt gun back in my hand

Here to stay

You can sit more but I can't sit a bit more now (not now)
Cause now is the time to ride my bike
Before the twilight turns into night


Gotta ride my bike past the rootbeer stand
(I have come out to play)
Purple squirt gun in my hand and I′m here to stay
Mommy mommy can't eat no more
(I have come out to play)
Gotta run outside that open door and I′m here to stay
Cause I have come out, come out to play
And now that I'm outside, I'm here to stay
I′ve rushed and I′ve raced out as fast as I can
And I've got the purple squirt gun back in my hand

Here to stay

Here to stay

You can sit more but I can′t sit a bit more now (not now)
Cause now is the time to stand in the clover
Roll over and over, come on over

Gotta ride my bike past the rootbeer stand
(I have come out to play)
Purple squirt gun in my hand and I'm here to stay
Mommy mommy can′t eat no more
(I have come out to play)
Gotta run outside that open door and I'm here to stay
Cause I have come out, come out to play
And now that I′m outside, I'm here to stay
I've rushed and I′ve raced out as fast as I can
And I′ve got the purple squirt gun back in my hand

Here to stay

Here to stay
