   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
