Lovers, kids an' fools
might as well be brothers
pick up dreams that others
walk right by!

Lovers, kids an' fools
take each day an' taste it
don't hold back or waste it
they always try!

Life goes by fast
let's chase it
come out an' say so when we feel
something strong!

Love seldom lasts
let's chance it
we'll dance to the music in our hearts
when there's no song!

Lovers, kids an' fools ( Lovers, kids an' fools! )
don't believe in fences
they let their common senses
fall apart!

In an open heart
sympathy an' kindness rule . . .

Lovers, kids an' fools!

In an open heart
( sympathy an' kindness rules! )

< instrumental break >

Let's stay with the fools!

< instrumental break >

Lovers, kids an' fools!

Hmmm . . .
