[Verse 1] Happy cheeky little boys, With all their noisy little toys, Cheeky sassy little girls, Spinning round to show their curls. [Chorus] And we all play the game, We do it all the same. And we all hide the pain And throw our lives away. [Verse 2] Naughty sneaky little boys, Searching out their secret joys. Dirty flirty little girls, Dreaming of their gold and pearls. [Chorus] And we all play the game, We do it all the same. And we all hide the pain And throw our lives away. [Verse 3] Happy cheerful little men, Work to death, then what then? Sad and quiet older women, Lying alone, just barely living. [Chorus] And we all play the game, We do it all the same. And we all hide the pain And throw our lives away.
