[singing "Because We're Kids"]
Now just because we're kids
Because we're sort of small
Because we're closer to the ground
And you are bigger pound by pound
You have no right, you have no right
To push and shove us little kids around...
Now just because your throat has got a deeper voice
And lots of wind to blow it out
At little kids who dare not shout
You have no right, you have no right
To boss and beat us little kids about...
Just because you've whiskers on your face to shave
You treat us like a slave...
So what? It's only hair.
Just because you wear a wallet near your heart
You think you're twice as smart.
You know that isn't fair...
But we'll grow up someday, and when we do I pray,
We won't just grow in size and sound,
And just be bigger pound by pound...
I'd hate to grow, like some I know,
Who push and shove us little kids around.
Now just because we're kids
Because we're sort of small
Because we're closer to the ground
And you are bigger pound by pound
You have no right, you have no right
To push and shove us little kids around...
Now just because your throat has got a deeper voice
And lots of wind to blow it out
At little kids who dare not shout
You have no right, you have no right
To boss and beat us little kids about...
Just because you've whiskers on your face to shave
You treat us like a slave...
So what? It's only hair.
Just because you wear a wallet near your heart
You think you're twice as smart.
You know that isn't fair...
But we'll grow up someday, and when we do I pray,
We won't just grow in size and sound,
And just be bigger pound by pound...
I'd hate to grow, like some I know,
Who push and shove us little kids around.
