Henry Gibson — For The Sake Of The Children lyrics

Lyrics

Unpack your bags and try not to cry
I can’t leave my wife, there’s three reasons why
There’s Jimmy, and Kathy, and sweet Lorelei
For the sake of the children, we must say goodbye
For the sake of the children, we must say goodbye
Cause Jimmy’s been wishin' that I’d take him fishin'
His Little League pitchin' is something to see
And Kathy’s thirteen now; she’s my little queen now
And I’ve gotta see who her beau’s gonna be
But you are my true love, the one that I love
But I’ve got to stay with the woman I wed
Laurie’s just walkin', she just started talkin'
And Daddy’s the first word that she ever said!
