Kids Say the Darndest Things

Lynn Anderson · Top of the World [Columbia] [1973]

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)



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?...
