If it weren't for kids have you ever thought 
D                    A7
There wouldn't be no Santa Claus 
   G                        A7
Or look what the stork just brought 
              D       A7
THANK GOD FOR KIDS ... 
    D                  G
And we'd all live in a quiet house 
     D                A7
With- out Big Bird or Mickey Mouse 
    G
And Kool Aid on the couch 
A7            D
THANK GOD FOR KIDS. 
      G                     A7          D
THANK GOD FOR KIDS, there's magic for a while 
  G               A7            D
A special kind of sunshine in a smile 
       G            A7              Bm     G
Do you ever stop to think or wonder why ... 
            D        Em     Em7   C7M    A7
The nearest thing to heaven is a child... 
         D                G
When you get down on your knees tonight 
   D                      A7
To thank the Lord for His guiding light 
    G                  A7
And pray they turn out rignt 
              D
THANK GOD FOR KIDS. 
 
Daddy, how does this thing fly? 
And a hundred other wheres and whys 
You really don't know but you try 
THANK GOD FOR KIDS. 
 
When you look down in those trusting eyes 
That look to you, you realize 
There's a love that you can't buy 
THANK GOD FOR KIDS.
