Say, say my playmate
Come and complain with me
And bring your problems three
We’ll look for trouble to see.

We’ll climb a ladder
And look near and far
To see life a jar
Oh come with me.

No, no complainer
Your game I will not play
Not today
Not any way.

I don’t like the game
Of laying blame
I choose to see
Life without misery.

I see life now
Full of joy and hope
And will not talk
As if I cannot cope.

I will not play that sad game
With you
Of that old game
I am through.

I have a new game
Where it’s fun to see
Things that make me
Truly happy.

I smell the flowers
And count my blessings
And sing God praises
Forever more.

So playmate I invite you
To look with me
For joy infinitely
For eternity.

We’ll look for rainbows
And silver linings
Never searching
For things distressing.

No, no complainer
I will not complain with you
I see life anew
I know God’s love is true.

I know it’s my choice
To see life abundantly
I cast away my fears
And dried my tears.

I hope you’ll join me
In looking for the good
It’s all around
To be found.

Come, come playmate
Come out and play with me
Bring your blessings three
And we’ll give thanks to thee

Forever more.
