about

This track was originally drafted for a 50/90 one-hour "song skirmish" challenge.

lyrics

My playground was rusty.
My playground was sad.
We thought we would replace it
with something that was not bad.

Plastic seemed the thing
that everybody used.
We thought we might use
some plastic, too.

But then I thought
that eventually it breaks, breaks down.
Thrown in to the trash
and that's quite unsound.

So we went to a different place
to get a different kind of machine.
Now the playground is really, really keen.
That playground there is almost always clean.

We used tentacles instead of plastic!
Giant tentacles from giant spacey creatures!
They love to play with everyone all day,
and it's really quite fun!

Giant tentacles
sticking up out the ground
tossing all of the
little kids all, all around.

It's my playground and it's safe!
It's my playground and it's ecologically safe!
It is really super, super fun!
And we almost never lose anyone.

It's my playground and maybe I will go play
with that tentacle that will wave me up like a swing.
Or maybe I will go to the ones that are teeter-tottering.
Maybe I will go to the ones like climbing bars.

I think it will be quite fun.
It should really be quite fun!
This is the best playground!

Mr. Beany's Bitty Band

We're a one-person band fronted by a human who self-describes as a mad artist. We invented the "crapcapella" genre, and remain a proponent, though we now support the term "folk acapella" as well. We love improvised music as well as sheet music.
