First verse:
Jack grew up fast and Jill grew up slow. Childhood don't last I guess I should know.
Chorus:
Where are all my children? They've taken them far away. It's getting hard to remember when they were young as the newborn day.
Second verse:
Told 'em about being bad. Told 'em about being good. Sometimes I feel so sad. Did I say what I should? [Repeat chorus]
Third verse:
Jill was a cheerleader and Jack ran track. Told the kids many times I would always have their back. [Repeat chorus]
Fourth verse:
The kids robbed a bank and I couldn't pay bail. They served their sentence in the old county jail. [Repeat chorus]
Fifth verse:
Jack became a preacher and Jill directs the choir. They both sing gospel tunes over the telephone wire. [Repeat chorus]
Sixth verse:
And now it's about time to end this song. I know another rhyme wouldn't be more right than wrong. [Repeat chorus]
