  • Boys and girls come out to play, playing till they're old and grey
    Time to leave the old school suit, grown ups can be real cute
    Do you think they're wiser than in the past
    How long do you think it's gonna last
    I don't have to prove to you adults can be kidding too

    Boys and girls I love you dearly
    But I hate to have you near me
    Boys and girls, ahh
    Boys and girls, ahh
    Boys and girls, ahh

    Boys and girls stay home today
    Think they're more mature that way
    Secret friends can soon be found
    Indiscretions underground
    Maybe growing up can seem more graceful
    If they make their style become more tasteful
    With your looks you could go far
    But better watch the calendar

    (The Sound Of A Church Wedding)

    Boys and girls I love you dearly
    But I hate to have you near me
    Boys and girls, ahh
    Boys and girls, ahh
    Boys and girls, ahh

    Boys and girls I love you dearly
    But I hate to have you near me

    Boys and girls I love you dearly
    But I hate to have you near me
    Boys and girls, ahh
    Boys and girls, ahh
    Boys and girls, ahh Writer/s: Phil Oakey, Philip Wright
