You learn about dogs and you learn how to eat
You learn about cause but I say it to thee(?!)

The sun and the moon and there's astrology
Suffer Little Children to Come Unto Me

Well, you learn about numbers and dollars and cents

Suffer Little Children to Come Unto Me
Said mother and father, I say it to thee
"Suffer Little Children to Come Unto Me"
