The sun comes up and brings the dawn to a new day
The kids run out to play the games like kids all play
To a child the world is milk and honey
A dime is a lot of candy money
Oh, ain't it funny, now, ain't it funny?
Running barefoot through the fields in the rain
Chasin' pretty butterflies in the lane
The world's a mess and they wonder why
Oh, what a pretty blue, blue sky
Gee, ain't it funny, now, ain't it funny?
The kids all say grown ups are strange and aren't they?
They teach their kids not to do as I do but as I say
They cry for peace and then make war
And wonder what they're fighting for
Oh, ain't it funny, now, ain't it funny?
Oh, gee ain't it funny, now, ain't it funny?
