   C                                 Am       
Oh listen to the children while they play  

    C                             Am              
Now ain't it kinda funny what the children say

                               Am      
Daddy hates Mommy  Mommy hates Dad 
  
C                                 Am                 
Last night you should'a heard the fight they had 
  
C                              Am        
Gave little sister another bad dream 
  
    C                     Am                 
She woke us all up with a terrible scream 

  
C                              Am       
Cheat on your taxes don't be a fool 
  
    C                               Am              
Now what was that they said about a Golden Rule 
  
C                                Am      
Never mind the rule just play to win 
  
    C                          Am                   
And hate your neighbor for the shade of his skin 

  
C                                           Am       
Stab 'em in the back that's the name of the game  

    C                   Am                 
And Mommy and Daddy are who's to blame
