Kids Say The Darndest Things

(album: Top Of The World - 1973)

Kids say the darndest things
Have you ever listened close to the games they play or the little songs they sing

Last night dressed up in high heel shoes and wearing my old hat
My four-year-old said I wanna divorce now where did she hears that
Kids say the darndest things
Have you ever listened close to the games they play or the little songs they sing

Last night as I watched TV one rushed through the door
Mommy daddy's telling someone on the phone don't you call me here no more
Kids say the darndest things
Have you ever listened close to the games they play or the little songs they sing

I bet my daddy can whip your daddy but daddy's never home
And I think mommy is worried 'bout him 'cause she cried all night long
Kids say the darndest things
Have you ever listened close to the games they play or the little songs they sing

You never know what they learn in school or what they're thinking of
My first grader just say a four letter word and it sure wasn't love
Kids say the darndest things
Have you ever listened close to the games they play or the little songs they sing
