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 highheel shoes
and wearing my old hat
my fouryearold said i want a divorce
now where did she hear 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
bet my daddy can whip your daddy
but daddy’s never home
and i think mommy’s 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 at school
or what they’re thinking of
my first grader just said a fourletter 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
kids say the darndest things
