Some People's Kids

Her daddy told her all the facts

His momma taught him how to act

at puberty they paid their dues

the pool-hall was the moulin rouge

and he likes her skirt

and she like his tight levi's

fanning flames of the fire

that burned higher than the fire in their eyes

Momma's downtown on her lips

Daddy's on a business trip

a pinch from momma's treasure chest

daddy comes up with the rest

and some people's kids don't know how fast time flies

now their paying for the fire burning higher than the fire in their eyes

some peoples kids can't see

all some people's kids really need

is someone to be there

to love 'em and to care, about them

daddy was a rollin' stone

momma chose to live alone

susie's out there on the wine

jimmy was friend of mine

and some peoples kids gotta sing so it's no surprise

that the flame of the fire's burnin' higher than the fire in their eyes
