[Verse]
C                                           G7
Children children children run and jump and play
                                   C
Children you’ll be men and women someday
                         E
And then you’ll have to leave
     F                         C
Your world of make believe now children
G7              C
Young carefree children
C                                G7
Children need someone who understands
                                     C
Children need someone to hold their hands
                           E
To cheer them when they’re sad
   F                               C
To spank them when they’re bad now children
G7           C
Pretty dirty children
Am         G7
Pride goes before destruction
  F              C             G7
A haughty spirit goes before a fall
Am             G7
Don’t you know that we’re all children
F                C               G7
And it’s all for one and one for all
C                        G7
Children call each other names
                             C
Children playing the grownup games
                             E
And the things that’s really sad
   F                                          C
Is that we lose the faith we had when we were children
G7         C
Loud proud children
C                                G7
Children who think that they are grown
                                C
Children with children of their own
                       E
From the cradle to the grave
  F                                    C
I wish we could all behave like little children
G7           C        G7             C
God’s little children sweet precious children
G7           C        G7           C
Pretty dirty children little bitty children
