getting closer

It really doesn't matter if it’s raining or it’s fine
Just as long as you've got time
To P-L-A-Y playaway-play, playaway,
Play-a-play, playaway.
Never mind the weather — get it together
The sun can shine and the rain can fall
Come on P-L-A-Y playaway-play, playaway,
Play-a-play, playaway.
Running down the road, strolling up the street
If you're feeling happy tap your feet
Come on P-L-A-Y playaway-play, playaway,
Play-a-play, playaway.
Sitting on your own and you're wondering what to do
Go out and make a friend then there'll be two!
Come on P-L-A-Y playaway-play, playaway,
Play-a-play, playaway.
One more time — la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
Come on P-L-A-Y playaway-play, playaway,
Play-a-play, playaway
PLAYAWAY!

A clip sadly not the song.

Re: Play Away

Now worries Huggie74 ... sorry it's not quite as "upbeat" as some of the TV versions but it still cool to hear it I guess ... there's a Playaway album up fo grabs on Ebay ... tempted to put in a bid ... hmmm ... but no track samples so couldn't be sure what you'd be getting eh?

Re: Play Away

Bit late after the original posts but I only joined the forum yesterday and have been going through the old threads.

Re playaway theme and the e-bay item I still have my original playaway tape which is probably the item that was up for sale on e-bay.

Don't know quite how this web-site works yet but huggie74 if you still want to hear then get your e-mail address to me, I'll find a way of mp3ing it (at some point)
