D                                       C  A7
Little children, you better not tell on me
                D                                             C   D
I'm telling you little children, you better not tell what you see
                   G                               
And if you're good, I'll give you candy and a quarter
A                F                 E                          A  A7
If you're quiet, like you ought to be, and keep a secret with me

                           D
I wish they would go away, little children
                              C    A7
Now why ain't you playing' outside? I'm asking you
    D                                         C    D
You can't fool me cause I'm gonna know if you hide
                G
And try to peek, I'm gonna treat you to a movie
A                   F              E     A7                     D
Stop your giggling, children do be nice, like little sugars and spice

F                       G     F
You saw me kissing your sister
                       G
You saw me holding her hand
                          A     G
But if you snitch to your mother
                       A
Your father won't understand

  A7                          D
I wish they would take a nap, little children
                         C   A7
Now why don't you go bye-bye? Go anywhere at all
D                                           C    D
Little children, I know you would go if you tried
                G
Go up the stairs, me and your sister, we're going steady
A                  F               E   A7                        D     G     A   
How can I kiss her when, I'm ready to, with little children like you, around?
                    D    G      A7                   D   D C Bb D
I wonder what can I do, around, little children like you
