If Kids Ruled the World
If kids ruled the world it would be a wacky world
What a wacky wacky world it would be!
We would never frown; we would never feel down
Everybody would be free
It would never be too sunny
It would never seem too cold
We’d find everything funny
And no one would get old
We’d be driving cool cars
Or swimming in the pool
We’d never do homework
Cause we’d never go to school
(Chorus)
We’d go anywhere we want
With our rocket packs handy
We’d fly into the clouds
And make it rain candy
TV would be good for us
No one would be poor
And we’d party every day
Because there’d be no war
(Chorus)
Hey all you adults out there living large
You know someday we kids - will be in charge
When kids rule the world it will be a wacky world
What a wacky wacky world it will be!
We will never frown; we will never feel down
Everybody will be free
