Why should I contain my joy?
After all, I'm still a boy!
To run and run is so much fun!
Who cares if that "isn't done"?
And EVERYTHING is worth exploring
Following rules is much too boring!
I wasn't MADE for sitting still
Say what you want, I never will!
I'm just a kid whose here to say
This kid's job is to PLAY PLAY PLAY!

That sounds like me and I'm 70. I don't think I'll ever grow up if it means that I can't PLAY.
