Little boys and little girls 

Playing parts in little worlds 

Little girls and little boys 

Properties are little toys 


Inside the doll's huse the game begins 

Girl is the princess and boy's the prince 

Feeling secure from the ogre who's sitting in the playground 

They've got a jingle in case they fight 

That will decide who is wrong or right 

Gotta be friends and behave if they both are ever going to be crowned 


Boy's got a toy-gun in case of war 

And that is just what he's waiting for 

Girl rocks her doll's pram pretending the Barbie is a baby 

Boy tries his best to be hard and cool 

Girl to be soft as cotton wool 

Prince is a gentleman and the princess is the finest lady 


They know exactly how to play 

They know exactly what to say 

'Cause they have served their apprentice-ship 


Prince wants the princess to watch him fight 

She says that she doesn't think it's right 

But he wants to show her that she is together with a winner 

Outside the doll's house the ogre starts 

Shaking the house till it falls apart 

Princess and Prince gotta run unless they're gonna be his dinner 


Running together with equal goals 

Better be home playing with adults 

Mum saying: "It's just a game", and they don't have to worry 

Inside the kitchen the game begins 

Mum is the princess and Dad's the prince 

Kids getting bored by watching a copy of the same old story 


They know exactly how to play 

They know exactly what to say 

'Cause they have served their apprentice-ship
