C Dm
Kids say the darndest things,

or the little songs they sing,

Last night dressed up in high-heeled shoes,
C C7 A
and wearing my old hat,
D D7
my four year old said, I wanna divorce,
G G7
Now, where did she hear that,
(chorus)

Last night as I watched TV,
C C7 A
one rushed through the door,
D D7
Mommy, Dad`s telling someone on the phone,
G G7
Don`t you call me here no more,
(chorus)
C Dm
Kids say the darndest things,

If my daddy can whip your daddy,
C C7 A
but daddy`s never home,
D
and I think, mum is worried about him,

cause she cried all night long,
(chorus)

You never know what they learn at school,
C C7 A
and what they`re thinking of,

My first grader just said a four letter word,
G G7
and it sure wasn`t love,
