Some come away with an armload of hay

One sails to market on her sea

Some like to say they'll do it yesterday

One starts his car without a key



Some come to play

And they throw it all away

Love our children forever

Love our children forever



Some cut the trees and stack them in the sand

One shoots up into the sky

Some do what they please

The world's at their command

Some come to nothing by and by



Some come to play

And they throw it all away

Love our children forever

Love our children forever

Love our children forever

Love our children forever

Love our children forever

Love our children forever

Love our children forever
