Queen of the Playground

I am queen of the playground
You could never catch me
I hide myself so well

I buried my heart in the sandbox
With a green plastic shovel
And an old yellow bucket

I dare you to dig as deep as you can

You’ll never find it

Because I am queen of the playground
I hide myself so well
