    Ditto on the story Abiyah.

    The song I quoted was a popular secular song 20-25 years ago.

    Ah! That explains it! The "My Name Is Jenny" song
    was popular on the radio when my Jenny was 2-
    and 3-years-old, in around 30 years ago! :-D --
    Back when Peter, Paul, and Mary's song was
    still popular, which said:

    Jenny! Come out and play,
    Red light, green light,
    And I'll be it today,
    Red, green, old rocky road,
    Tell me what do you see . . . .

    (Or should I have written "Peter, Paul, and Mommy"?)

    Name of the song "Playground In My Mind"

    Words:

    PLAYGROUND IN MY MIND

    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

    My name is Michael, I've got a nickel, I've got a nickel shiny and new
    I'm gonna buy me all kinds of candy, that's what I'm gonna do

    In the wonders that I find in the playground in my mind
    In a world that used to be, close your eyes and follow me
    Where the children laugh and the children play
    And we'll sing a song all day

    My girl is Cindy, when we get married we're gonna have a baby or two
    We're gonna let them visit their grandma, that's what we're gonna do


    TAG LINES CONCURRENT WITH BACKGROUND SINGERS SINGING VERSES
    TWO AND FOUR

    Living in a world that I left behind
    Happy little children
    In the playground in my mind
    See the little children
    See how they play in the playground in my mind
    La la la----------FADE

    Made popular by Clint Holmes!!! Recorded 1972

    Hah! And my daughter was born the year before.

    It makes me wonder, since I do not recall, if I just
    sang the chorus to her and changed the name to
    hers. I know I did that with other songs, but I
    thought this one used the name, Jenny.

    Funny, when we named our son, again, we sought
    a name that could not be easily turned into a
    negative nickname. But as a baby, when he was
    asked his name, in trying to pronounce it, he would
    respond, "Icky!" One of his aunts still calls him
    "Icky," but she and I are the only ones allowed to
    do so!
