Songs with the word play

[Dan Murphy]

Play With Fire--Stones

 

[Dan Murphy]

Days Like This--Morrison

When everyone is up front and they're not playing tricks
When you don't have no freeloaders out to get their kicks
When it's nobody's business the way that you want to live
I just have to remember there'll be days like this

 

[theluckyrabbit]

"Do You Want To Build A Snowman?" from Frozen
Do you wanna build a snowman?
Come on, let's go and play!

 

[theluckyrabbit]

"Playground In My Mind," Clint Holmes
When this old world gets me down and there's no love to be found
I close my eyes and soon I find I'm in a playground in my mind
Where the children laugh and the children play
And we sing a song all day...

 

[E&Cmom]

Is this the little girl I carried? Is this the little boy at play?

 

[theluckyrabbit]

"The Perfect Nanny" from Mary Poppins
If you want this choice position
Have a cheery disposition
Rosy cheeks, no warts!
Play games, all sorts...

 

[theluckyrabbit]

"Show the Way," David Wilcox
Look,
If someone wrote a play
To just to glorify what's stronger than hate
Would they not arrange the stage
To look as if the hero came too late?

 

[AppleDumpling]

Stay - Jackson Browne

People stay, just a little bit longer
We want to play, just a little bit longer…

"As Tears Go By," Marianne Faithful
It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Smiling faces I can see
But not for me
I sit and watch
As tears go by...

And The Rolling Stones:

 

[theluckyrabbit]

"Ya Got Trouble" from The Music Man
I say, first, medicinal wine from a teaspoon
Then beer from a bottle
And the next thing you know
Your son is playing for money in a pinch-back suit
And listenin' to some big outta town jasper
Hearin' him tell about horse race gamblin'
...
Friends, the idle brain is the devil's playground

And Hugh Jackman:

 

[theluckyrabbit]

"Falling In Love With Love" from The Boys From Syracuse
Falling in love with love is falling for make believe.
Falling in love with love is playing the fool...

And Rebecca Luker:

 

[theluckyrabbit]

"Guys and Dolls" from Guys and Dolls
What's playing at the Roxy?
I'll tell you what's playing at the Roxy.
A picture about a Minnesota man falls in love with a Mississippi girl
That he sacrifices everything and moves all the way to Biloxi.
That's what's playing at the Roxy...

 

[E&Cmom]

 

[theluckyrabbit]

"They're Playing My Song" from They're Playing Our Song

Hers:

His:

 

[theluckyrabbit]

"Penny Lane," The Beatles
Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout
A pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
And though she feels as if she's in a play
She is anyway...

 

[theluckyrabbit]

"Play A Simple Melody," Bing & Gary Crosby

And Jason Danieley and Marin Mazzie:

 

[theluckyrabbit]

"Cool" from West Side Story
Go, man, go
But not like a yo-yo schoolboy
Just play it cool, boy
Real cool...

 

[theluckyrabbit]

"Dear Prudence," The Beatles
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?

 

[RedAngie]

I don’t understand how the last card is played
But somehow the vital connection is made
