The Kids

They're taking her children away
 Because they said she was not a good mother
 They're taking her children away
 Because she was making it with sisters and brothers
 And everyone else, all of the others
 Like cheap officers who would stand there and flirt in front of me
 They're taking her children away
 Because they said she was not a good mother
 They're taking her children away
 Because of the things that they heard she had done
 The black Air Force sergeant was not the first one
 And all of the drugs she took, every one, every one
 And I am the Water Boy, the real game's not over here
 But my heart is overflowin' anyway
 I'm just a tired man, no words to say
 But since she lost her daughter
 It's her eyes that fill with water
 And I am much happier this way
 They're taking her children away
 Because they said she was not a good mother
 They're taking her children away
 Because number one was the girlfriend from Paris
 The things that they did - ah - they didn't have to ask us
 And then the Welshman from India, who came here to stay
 They're taking her children away
 Because they said she was not a good mother
 They're taking her children away
 Because of the things she did in the streets
 In the alleys and bars, no she couldn't be beat
 That miserable rotten slut couldn't turn anyone away
 I am the Water Boy, the real game's not over here
 But my heart is overflowin' anyway
 I'm just a tired man, no words to say
 But since she lost her daughter
 It's her eyes that fill with water
 And I am much happier this way
