Kool & The Gang - Little Children Lyrics






All the little children
Happy little children
Playing, laughing
Your world is so bright
All the little children
Happy little people
In a world of lollipops
And lemon candy drops

(Grow) All the little children
(You better pick up that teddy bear)
(Grow) Delight, little lollipop
(Yeah, I'm gonna come over there and get you)
(Grow) All the little children
(Yes, yes, yes, that is the thing)
(Grow) Sweet as a lemon drop
(Grow) All the little children
(Grow) All the same
(Mm-hmm, sweet as a lemon drop)
(Grow) All the little children
(Funky, yes, indeed, yeah)

Grow on, sweet children
Discover the things you are
Keep laughing and learning
And jumping and playing
And reaching for the stars

All the little children
Happiness surrounds you
In your fairytale land
Of gingerbread men
All the little children
Just like little flowers
Growing in a field of love
With sugar skies above

(Grow) All the little children
(All the little children, yeah)
(Grow) Delight, little lollipop
(You all know you're sweet)
(Grow) All the little children
(Grow) Sweet as a lemon drop
(Grow) All the little children
(Come on now, come on)
(Grow)
(Keep on playin', little children)
(Grow) All the little children
(Come on, now, y'all gotta get down)
(Y'all know)

Rainbows sparkle in your eyes
Circusland lies in your mind
Happy little people
Friendly little people
Special little people you are

All the little children
Special little people
Hopscotch, jump-rope
Hide-and-go-seek
All the little people
Living in a world
Where only children can live

Keep growing and laughing
And reaching for the stars

All the little children
Happy little children
In a garden of love
All the little children
Their dreams are filled
With rainbow skies
And pretty butterflies
The dance before your eyes

Keep growing and learning
And reaching for the stars

    T.... L....

    Ho Happy Jackie..

    T.... L....

    Jeremy M. Thompson wow I just turned 40 and the first time I ever heard this song was probably in june, and the I heard the sample of this back in 95 by buckwild and Az

  49. D.... G....

    Kool & the Gang - Little Children "BOOM"

  50. B.... P....

    if you ask me, she's nothing but nasty, money hungry and classy hoe happy Jackie..

  51. N.... O....

    Buckwild produced "Happy Ho Jackie" with this song. The man had some good ears

    N.... O....

    Leave it up to this generation, for taking a song so beautiful, and fucking it up its a shame, our black youth are lost!!!!!

    N.... O....

    @cash curry or you got bad taste

    N.... O....

    cash curry looooooool this generation?

    N.... O....

    Dude, hip-hop keeps beautiful songs like this alive and helps the youth find it. Kids would never know this song existed if it weren't for the art of sampling. It's like our African ancestors re-telling stories by the campfire of their ancestors. Once you take sampling away, we won't have the knowledge of self.

    N.... O....

    Barry Jordan heh or American ancestors

  52. Z.... b....

    Quasimoto brought me here

    I.... Y....

    my neighbor "Mrs.Tutchardiks" played this song when me and pal Paul Molive wrestled her on her bed naked,she would always tell us to eat the tootsie roll when she'd pin us by sitting on our face. When i ate mine,they were always chalky,and left strings in my teeth,my friend Paul choked on the corn that was in his once,you're right.
    That was the first time i had warm lemon foamy gatorade she would tell us to drink from her. Alot of my friends now all have yellow skin who used to take wrestling lessons at Mrs Tutchardiks,one of those friends keeps saying, "i gotta go to dialysis" every week. My breath smells like sulfer for some reason

    I.... Y....

    @I YAM WHITE
     Yea, you're definitely white.

    I.... Y....

    S.... B....

    Skylar Belser

  62. N.... J....

    One of my fave Kool and the gang lp's Open sesame

  63. R.... J....

    Can't believe this song made me cry... but its a beautiful piece of art!

    R.... J....

    your not alone, I did the same thing

    R.... J....

    R.... J....

    You ain't alone. Had me in the truck crying thinking about my daughter and the next generation of kids of our family.

  64. D.... G....

    http://youtu.be/0pjWwBkmmMo samples this song

  65. P.... J....

    Ode to madlib

  66. J.... ....

    Such a beautiful song, reflected the brilliance and optimism of the time it was composed; and it makes me reflect on the reality of our human condition today, where the children have so much to contend with, before they even get a chance to grow up.

  67. T.... S....

    This has to be one of the most BEAUTIFUL songs ever sampled. Everywhere I've heard it from AZ to Brick City Kids to Quasimoto to Elle Varner. Pure dope!

    T.... S....

    What's the name of the el Varner joint

    T.... S....

    @ncstateofmind Elle Varner - I Don't Care

    T.... S....

    Check out Pudgee The Phat Bastard - Things Ain't Changed

    T.... S....

    I especially like how The Ghetto Professionals just filtered the bass groove for the Brick City Kids joint. They added some horns and dope drums to it and that was more than enough

  68. p.... f....

    The instrumental captures the innocence of a child..."in a world where only children can live" "keep growing and learning and reaching for the stars" message!

  69. J.... M....

    Have this whole ablum.Classic...

  70. K.... 1....

    never heard this b4....im feeling it tho

  71. B.... ....

    AZ- "Ho Happy Jackie"

    J.... M....

    Man that groove just makes you feel some type of way. It's emotional music.

  73. M.... H....

    Money Hungry Bitche$

    M.... H....

    "JUST REMEMBER"

    M.... H....
