Do You Know Where Your Children Are (Original Version)
Do You Know Where Your Children Are (Original Version)

Father comes home from work and he’s scared to death

Mother cries for the kid, and the note she read

Father runs to the table he says “What’s going on”

Mother cries desperately, “Our little baby’s gone!”

Do you know where your children are?

Because it’s now 12 o’clock

If they’re somewhere out on the street

Just imagine how scared they are

Do you know where your children are?

Because it’s now 12 o’clock

If they’re somewhere out on the street

Just imagine how scared they are

She wrote that she is tired of step daddy using her

Saying that he’ll buy her things, while sexually abusing her

Just think that she’s all alone somewhere out on the street

How will this girl survive?

She ain’t got nothing to eat

Do you know where your children are?

Because it’s now 12 o’clock

If they’re somewhere out on the street

Just imagine how scared they are

Do you know where your children are?

Because it’s now 12 o’clock

If they’re somewhere out on the street

Just imagine how scared they are

Save me

Save me

Save me

Save me

Save me

Save me

Save me

Save me

Save me

Now she’s on the move, she’s off to Hollywood

She says she wants to be a star, she heard the money’s good

She gets off from the train station, the man is waiting there

“I’ll show you where the money is, girl just let down your hair”

He’s taking her on the streets of Sunset Boulevard

She’s selling her body, ha girl that will take her far

The police come round the corner, somebody there told

He’s arresting this little girl, she’s only 12 years old

Do you know where your children are?

Because it’s now 12 o’clock

If they’re somewhere out on the street

Just imagine how scared they are
