Big Kids - John Lithgow

Big kids scare the heck out of me

Big kids scare the heck out of me

Whenever I see them, gosh, oh gee

Big kids scare the heck out of me

Big kids comin' down the sidewalk

Bid kids running through the halls

Big kids racin' cross the playground

Big kids playin' ball

(chorus)

Big kids are loud and noisy

Big kids are strong and tall

Big kids are rough and tough and rowdy

They make me feel so small

(chorus)

Now here’s a story that goes along with the song

I saw a little kid coming round the corner

He saw me and ran and hid

I asked him what he was afraid of

Was it something I did?

He said —

(chorus)

He said I scared the heck out of him

He said I scared the heck out of him

I’m a real nice guy, wouldn’t hurt a flea

And this little fellow was afraid of me

He said — Big kids scare the heck out of me

Big kids scare the heck out of me

I told him I got news for you

Big kids scare the heck out of me too

He said no

I said yeah

(chorus)

Well we talked it over for a real long time

He laughed a lot, he did a little crying

The very next day when I saw him again

This little fella had become my friend

Well now, big kids never scare the heck out of us

Big kids never scare the heck out of us

We wonder now why we made such a fuss

'Cuz Big kids

Big kids

Bik kids hardly ever scare the heck out of us
