Sweet lemonade on ice, chocolate cake piled highIcing flick upon the fingers of the birthday boyHe blew out all the candles, got his wish within the hourA shiny new guitar his daddy bought himAnd I watched him run around, gettin dizzy falling downOh I wish how I could join himI want to giggle like the children, be silly for a whileSilly like the fools we areOh ignorance was blissin', it was easy to believeMomma and Daddy were invincible, America was beautifulFrom sea to shining sea, No slavery, No slaughtering of the buffaloThe world was black and whiteCouldn't sleep on Christmas nightAnd all my doggies went to heavenOh Oh Oo
I want to giggle like the children, be silly for a whileSilly like the fools we areCome on lets giggle like the children, Children's all we areLet's be silly like the fools we areWho are we, to be so boldTo think we are as wise as we are oldThe more I see hereThe more I'm certain, I'm blindThrough the forest and the fieldsDown the mountains through the hillsThe more I see here,The more I'm certain I'm blindWell I read a lot of booksYou know I took a lot of classPhilosophy, Religion, SociologyI'm a presidential scholar, I got a presidential sealOn the degree collecting dust down in the basement
Well I'm given up the searchYou know I'm going back to ChurchGive me Law and give me scriptureGive me JesusI want to giggle like the children, be silly for a whileSilly like the fools we areCome on lets giggle like the children, children's all we areLet's be silly like the fools we areYeah lets giggle like the children, Make a wish upon a starAnd awe and wonder like the fools we areOh oh oh oh
