The sun comes up and brings the dawn turn to day The kids run out to play the game like kids all play To child the world is milk and honey a dime is a lot a can be 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 wars 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?
