I know a place where the wild things grow I know a place where the wild things grow There's an apple tree From a core That someone threw away The fruit is sweet So sweet And no-one knows but me I know a place where the wild things live I know a place where the wild things live Down on Puddle alley, where the little river flows And a mother duck lives With her baby ducklings, Soft and grey So quiet No-one knows but me I climb along the bank And sit so quietly That no-one knows I'm there I'm hidden safe away I see the world go by And no-one knows I'm there Hidden in my safe and secret magic world I know a place where the magic lies I know a place where the magic lies A world so far away And still so close to home I never feel alone I never am alone In my secret place Where the wild things grow
