In the storms of childhood we ran down roads
It rained of frogs, it rained of toads
We held aloft our rods of steel
The lightning bolt we hoped to feel
We run through nights deep beyond measure
And steal the Queen of England's treasure
Above the roof tops, above the trees
Escape the law with careless ease
Only children have days like these
We take the jet's tail out of the sky
And tie a box of tiger's eye
Come back Aladdin, come back please
Forgive, forgive the forty thieves
We run through nights deep beyond measure
And steal the Queen of England's treasure
We climb as high as we please
Escape the law with careless ease
Only children have days like these
We hide and climb as we please
Escape the law with careless ease
Only children have days like these
Let's illuminate all our years
It gives us strength against our fears
Come back Aladdin, come back please
Forgive, forgive the forty thieves
Only children have friends like these
Have friends like these
