Little 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
