Standard (EADGBE)

 Well I think it's fine, building jumbo planes

 Or taking a ride on a cosmic train

Switch on summer from a slot machine

 Yes, get what you want to if you want 'cos you can get anything

 I know we've come a long way, we're changing day to day

But tell me, where do the children play?

 Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass

 For your lorryloads pumping petrol gas

 And you make them long, and you make them tough

 But they just go on and on, and it seems you can't get off

 I know we've come a long way, we're changing day to day

But tell me, where do the children play?

 When you crack the sky, scrapers fill the air

 Will you keep on building higher

 'til there's no more room up there?

 Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry?

 Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die?

I know we've come a long way

We're changing day to day--hey

But tell me, where do the children play?

Do doot do, do de do doot do

 Do de do doot do do de do do
