Ain't It Funny

(album: Entertainer Of The Year - Loretta - 1973)

The sun comes up and brings the dawn to a new day
The kids run out to play the games that kids all play
To a child, the world is milk and honey
A dime is a lot of candy money
Oh, ain't it funny? Now ain't it funny?

Running barefoot through the field in the rain
Chasing pretty butterflies in the lane
The world's a mess and they wonder why
Oh, what a pretty blue blue sky
Gee, ain't it funny? Now ain't it funny?

The kids all say grown-ups are strange, and aren't they?
They teach their kids not to do as I do, but as I say
They cry for peace and then make war
And wonder what they're fighting for
Oh, ain't it funny? Now ain't it funny?

Oh gee, ain't it funny? Now ain't it funny?
