Little Children.

[jones jones]

"Strange children should smile at each other and say, “Let’s play."

"Children see magic because they look for it."

Christopher Moorel.

"Time is a game played beautifully by children."

Little children

You better not tell on me

I'm tellin' you

Little children

You better not tell what you see

And if you're good

I'll give you candy and a quarter

If you're quiet like you oughta be

And keep a secret with me

I wish they would go away

Little children

Now why ain't you playin' outside

I'm askin' you

You can't fool me

'Cause I'm gonna know if you hide

And try to peek

I'm gonna treat you to a movie

Stop your gigglin'

Children do be nice

Like little sugars and spice

You saw me kissin' your sister

You saw me holdin' her hand

But if you snitch to your mother

Your father won't understand

I wish they would take a nap

Little children

Now why don't you go bye-bye

Go anywhere at all

Little children

I know you would go if you tried

Go up the stairs

Me and your sister

We're goin' steady

How can I kiss her

When I'm ready to

With little children like you around

I wonder what can I do around

Little children like you
