Because We’re Kids Lyrics by Tommy Rettig

The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T

1953

[Verse: Tony Butala]
Now just because we're kids
Because we’re sorta small
Because we're closer to the ground
And you are bigger pound by pound
You have no right
You have no right
To push and shove us little kids around
Now just because your throat
Has got a deeper voice
And lots of wind to blow it out
At little kids who don't dare shout
You have no right
You have no right
To boss and beat us little kids about
Just because you’ve whiskers on your face to shave
You treat us like a slave
So what? It's only hair
Just because you wear a wallеt near your heart
You think you're twicе as smart
You know that isn't fair
But we'll grow up some day
And when we do I pray
We won't just grow in size and sound
And just be bigger pound by pound
I'd hate to grow like some I know
Who push and shove us little kids around
