Text: Kate & Anna McGarrigle. Love Over and Over. Place in Your Heart [*].

Children like to dance, children like to sing
Children like to play with almost anything
A little piece of wood, tiny bit of string
Tied together, it's a wonderful thing

Children who don't eat can't stay on their feet
If the cupboard is bare, they only sit and stare
Isn't it funny how we're all the same
Black and white and yellow kids

Love a good game
Isn't is sad how some can't play
'Cause they waited too long
For a rainy day

We hate the winter and cry about the snow
But come the month of May our crops start to grow
We cut down the wheat and turn into bread
Put it on the table till everyone's fed

Set a place at the table for the hungry of the world
A place in your heart for every boy and girl
Isn't it funny how we're all the same
Black and white and yellow kids

Love a good game
Isn't it sad how some can't play
'Cause they waited too long
For a rainy day

Rain, rain today, pour out of the heavens so
All the kids can play, some are hungry, others in pain
They've got no food 'cause they've got no rain
All the same, black and white and yellow kids

Love a good game
Isn't it sad how some can't play
'Cause they waited too long
For a rainy day
