Lyrics
"Kids will be kids" (but not for long) ? words and music Mark S. Ludes © 2003
Verse 1)
You see your kid keeps growing like a leaf on a tree
Everyday is different what they?ll grow up to be.
One day it?s a fireman, then a teacher or a nurse,
Next day it?s the President ? it could be worse..
Verse 2) ( harmony vocals)
You send ?em off to school to try to educate
They start hangin? with some friends ? then their always late.
Don?t wanna do homework ?don?t have the time!
Always gotta be somewhere ? you pay ?em no mind.
Jimmy?s goin? somewhere
Jamie?s already gone
Now kids will be kids ? (stop)
But not for long!!
Chorus: (harmony)
You need to try to help them out ? in every way you can
Don?t ! Only tell ?em what they did, when it is wrong.
Try to keep in mind you were a kid once just like them.
Remember ?kids will be kids? ? but not for long!!!
SOLO Break???(2 verses..back to tag / verse?Jimmy?s?)
Verse 3)
Now try to remember that once this was you.
Your parents had to deal with all of this too.
All the fussin? and fightin? seemed to never quit,
They said ?You get what you get, and you don?t throw a fit?.
So don?t go and try to change their minds
And only tell ?em when they?re doin? wrong
?Cos kids will be kids ? (stop)
But not for long!!
Repeat Chorus:
You need to try to help them out ? in every way you can.
Don?t ! Only tell ?em what they did, when it is wrong.
Try to keep in mind you were a kid once just like them.
Remember ?kids will be kids? ? but not for long!!!
(repeat ending??but not for long??)
?Kids will be kids!? (but not for long), ?Kids will be kids!? (but not for long),
?Kids will be kids!? (but not for long), ?Kids will be kids!? (but not for long),
(Stop!) ?Kids will be kids!?
The End!!!!
