If we didn't have kids

If we didn't have kids

We'd be DINKs with lots of chink

What can we buy with double the income

Lots of stuff for ourselves

And plenty other events to go to

Then we had kids

One of us bade our job goodbye

Four fellows now share the spoils

Still we saved more

Than when there were only two

If we didn't have kids

My wardrobe gets new additions

Every time I hit the shops

Suits, bags and shoes

Money buys some satisfaction

Then we had kids

Their wardrobe gets new additions

Every time I hit the shops

Pink dresses or Spidey Ts

Giggles brings instant gratification

If we didn't have kids

We'd live in the city

In a cosy apartment by the sea

Fiddling with fancy gadgets

Lounging on the balcony

Then we had kids

Chose a house in the country

Flanked by flowers and trees

Cycling on gravel tracks

Running in the forestry

If we didn't have kids

We'd choose a fancy restaurant

Every evening, a new menu

We'll hang out late into the night

Maybe some friends over for a chat

Then we had kids

I whip up yummy-licious stews

Every day, a fresh menu

We exchange hugs and kisses before bed

They get more when sound asleep

If we didn't have kids

We'd take off for hols this week

Get on a plane with some clothes

Shopping, coffee and dinners

In Barcelona, Paris or Rome

Then we had kids

Packing for hols take a week

Extra large suitcase with more on board

Shopping, food and rides

Disneyland, the beach or the zoo

If we didn't have kids

We'd have more time

And money too

We can go wherever we want

And eat whatever we want

Then we had kids

We share all that we have

Time and money too

Love and joy multiplied

There's nothing else we want
