As we were dressing to go out
Our little girl and boy came in
And asked if they could go this time
We told them, little girls and boys don't belong at parties
And that they should be in bed asleep by nine
The babysitter came in
Then and we kissed the kids goodbye
And told them that we'd be home soon
And told them not to cry
Then we left for the party, like we'd so often done
Thinkin' only of ourselves,and not our little ones
The party started out wild
And it grew wilder, as the night wore on
With drinking, laughing, telling dirty jokes
Nobody thinkin' of home
Then the strangest feeling came over me
And it chilled me to the bones
And I told my wife that we'd better leave the party
Cause I felt that we were needed at home
As we rode along, I got to thinking
Of how the kids that mornin' had asked
If we would take them to church the next day
And how I'd put 'em off, like I'd so often done
By sayin', we'd probably get home too late
Then, my thoughts were interrupted by the sound of sirens
As they cut through the still night air
Then we turned down our street
That's when we saw the fire
The rest was like a nightmare
We took their little bodies to church the next day
Though we'd left the party early
We still got home too late
Our little girl and boy came in
And asked if they could go this time
We told them, little girls and boys don't belong at parties
And that they should be in bed asleep by nine
The babysitter came in
Then and we kissed the kids goodbye
And told them that we'd be home soon
And told them not to cry
Then we left for the party, like we'd so often done
Thinkin' only of ourselves,and not our little ones
The party started out wild
And it grew wilder, as the night wore on
With drinking, laughing, telling dirty jokes
Nobody thinkin' of home
Then the strangest feeling came over me
And it chilled me to the bones
And I told my wife that we'd better leave the party
Cause I felt that we were needed at home
As we rode along, I got to thinking
Of how the kids that mornin' had asked
If we would take them to church the next day
And how I'd put 'em off, like I'd so often done
By sayin', we'd probably get home too late
Then, my thoughts were interrupted by the sound of sirens
As they cut through the still night air
Then we turned down our street
That's when we saw the fire
The rest was like a nightmare
We took their little bodies to church the next day
Though we'd left the party early
We still got home too late
