1
Pass me that lovely little gun
2
My dear, my darling one
3
The cleaners are coming, one by one
4
You don't even want to let them start
5
They're knocking now upon your door
6
They measure the room, they know the score
7
They're mopping up the butcher's floor
8
Of your broken little hearts
9
(Oh, children)
10
Forgive us now for what we've done
11
It started out as a bit of fun
12
Here, take these before we run away
13
The keys to the gulag
14
(Oh, children)
15
(Lift up your voice, lift up your voice)
16
(Children)
17
(Rejoice, rejoice)
18
Come on
19
Come on
20
Come on
21
Here comes Frank and poor old Jim
22
They're gathering round with all my friends
23
We're older now, and the light is dim
24
And you are only just beginning
25
Oh, children
26
We have the answer to all your fears
27
It's short, it's simple, it's crystal-cear
28
It's roundabout and it's somewhere here
29
Lost amongst our winnings
30
(Oh, children)
31
(Lift up your voice, lift up your voice)
32
(Children)
33
(Rejoice, rejoice)
34
The cleaners have done their job on you
35
They're hip to it, man, they're in the groove
36
They've hosed you down, you're good as new
37
And they're lining up to inspect you
38
Oh children
39
Poor old Jim's white as a ghost
40
He's found the answer that was lost
41
We're all weeping now, weeping because
42
There ain't nothing we can do to protect you
43
(Oh, children)
44
(Lift up your voice, lift up your voice)
45
(Children)
46
(Rejoice, rejoice)
47
(Hey little train, we're jumping on)
48
(The train that goes to the Kingdom)
49
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
50
And the train ain't even left the station
51
(Hey, little train, wait for me)
52
(I once was blind but now I see)
53
And have you left a seat for me?
54
Is that such a stretch of the imagination?
55
(Hey little train, wait for me)
56
(I was held in chains but now I'm free)
57
I'm hanging in there, don't you see?
58
In this process of elimination
59
(Hey little train, we're jumping on)
60
(The train that goes to the Kingdom)
61
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun (children)
62
It's beyond my wildest expectation (oh, children)
63
(Hey little train, we're jumping on)
64
(The train that goes to the Kingdom)
65
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
66
The train ain't even left the station (oh, children)
67
(Hey, little train, wait for me)
68
(I once was blind but now I see)
