Won't You Come out to Play?

This is one of my very favorite songs to sing. It's more strident than the original, but it suits me.

Performance From the Night of John Lennon Music & Lyrics - in New York, not long after 9/11.




Dear Prudence
Won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence
Greet the brand new day
The sun is up the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence
Won't you come out to play

Dear Prudence
Open up your eyes
Dear Prudence
See the sunny skies
The wind is low, the birds will sing
That you are part of everything
Dear Prudence
Won't you open up your eyes

Look around, around
Look around, round, round, round, round
Look around ~

Dear Prudence
Let me see you smile
Dear Prudence
Like a little child
The clouds will be a daisychain
So let me see you smile again
Dear Prudence
Won't you let me see you smile

Dear Prudence
Won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence
Greet the brand new day
The sun is up
the sky is blue
It's beautiful
And so are you

Dear Prudence
Won't you come out to play

Look around, round, round, round, round
Look around, round, round, round, round
Look around, round, round, round, round
Look around, round, round, round, round

mahh ahhhh ohhhh-ahh aaa-oh
mahh ahhhh ohhhh-ahh aaa-oh

We can work it out
We can work it out
We can work it out
