Lyrics
- Years have passed by, since you and I
Went to the old village school
Careless and gay, from day to day
Learning the old golden rule
Do you remember the teacher we had?
Do you remember the red headed lad?
The boy with the freckles who always was bad?
Are visions of days long gone bye
Chorus
Playmates, Playmates, sharing each others toys
Making mud pies while the sun shone bright
I’d play with your doll, you’d fly my kite
Playmates, playmates, since we were boy and girl
Then to you I would say, “We will marry some day”
We were sweethearts a long time ago
- No days to compare, with childhood rare
When we were playmates at school
Happy were we, joyous and free
Fearless of our teachers rule
Still I can see you in your sunny dress
All frills and ruffles and such daintiness
And you used to snub me but nevertheless
I never got angry with you
Sung here by Vancha March:
