[Verse 1]
Dear Prudence
Won't you come out to play?
Dear Prudence
Greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence
Won't you come out to play?

[Verse 2]
Dear Prudence
Open up your eyes
Dear Prudence
See the sunny skies
The wind is low, the birds will sing
That you are part of everything
Dear Prudence
Won't you open your eyes?

[Bridge]
Look around, 'round
Look around, 'round, 'round
Look around

[Verse 3]
Dear Prudence
Let me see you smile
Dear Prudence
Like a sleeping child
The clouds will be a daisy chain
So let me see you smile again
Dear Prudence won't you let me see you smile?
[Bridge]
Look around, 'round
Look around, 'round, 'round
Look around

[Chorus]
Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play? (Let me see you smile—woops!)
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play?

[Outro]
[?] in the middle of her meditation course in Rishikesh, India
No one was to know that
S-s-sooner or later, she was to go completely berserk under the care of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
All the people around were very worried about the girl
Because she was going insane, so we sang to her
(Thank you)
