Little Children - Billy J Kramer, The Dakotas

Little children, you better not tell on me…

I’m tellin' you.

Little children, you better not tell what you see…

And if you’re good…

I’ll give you candy and a quarter

If you’re quiet like you oughta be And keep a secret with me I wish they would go away

Little children, now why aren’t you playin' outside

I’m askin' you

You can’t fool me, 'cause I’m gonna know if you hide

And try to peek

I’m gonna treat you to a movie

Stop your gigglin', children do be nice

Like little sugars and spice

You saw me kissin' your sister, you saw me holdin' her hand

But if you snitch to your mother, your father won’t understand

I wish they would take a nap

Little children, now why don’t you go bye-bye

Go anywhere at all

Little children, I know you would if you tried

Go up the stairs

Me and your sister, we’re goin' steady

How can I kiss her when I’m ready to With little children like you around

I wonder what can I do around

Little children like you
