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?
