Kids

Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue

About Kids

"Kids" is a duet by singers Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue, released as the second single from Sing When You're Winning, Williams' third studio album and the third single from Light Years, Minogue's seventh studio album. Williams and then songwriting partner Guy Chambers co-wrote the song for Minogue. The song contains a sampling of Sisters Love's song Give Me Your Love. The track was written when Minogue approached Williams to write her some songs for what would be her first album under Parlophone, Light Years. It was then that Williams felt the chemistry and decided to turn the song into a duet as well as include the track on his album and release it as a single. It was an instant hit when it was released in 2000. It also appeared in Grand Theft Auto V on its fictional radio station Non Stop Pop.

Me no bubbletious
Me smoke heavy tar
Me be groovin' slowly
Where you are
Notify your next of kin
'Cause you're never coming back
I've been dropping beats
Since Back in Black
And we'll paint by numbers
'Til something sticks
Don't mind doing it for the kids (So come on)
Jump on board
Take a ride (yeah) (You'll be doin' it all right)
Jump on board feel the high
'Cause the kids are alright

You've got a reputation
Well I guess that can be explored
You're dancing with
The chairman of the board
Take a ride on my
Twelve cylinder symphony
But if you got other plans
The purpose of a woman
Is to love her man

And we'll paint by numbers
Till something sticks
Don't mind doing it for the kids (So come on) jump on board
Take a ride (yeah) (Doin' it all right)
Jump on board feel the high
'Cause the kids are alright

I'm gonna give it all of my loving
It's gonna take up all of my love
I'm gonna give it all of my loving
It's gonna take up all of my love
I'm gonna give it all of my loving
It's gonna take up all of my love
I'm gonna give it all of my loving
It's gonna take up all of my love

Come down from the ceiling
I didn't mean to get so high
I couldn't do what I wanted to do
When my lips were dry
You can't just up and leave me
I'm a singer in a band
Well I like drummers baby
You're not my bag

Jump on board
Take a ride, yeah (You'll be doin' it all right)
Jump on board feel the high, yeah

Jump on board
Take a ride, yeah (You'll be doin' it all right)
Jump on board feel the high, yeah

I'm an honorary
Sean Connery, born '74
There's only one of me
Single-handedly
Raising the economy
Ain't no chance of the
Record company dropping me
Press be asking do
I care for sodomy
I don't know, yeah, probably
I've been looking
For serial monogamy
Not some bird that
Looks like Billy Connolly
But for now
I'm down for ornithology
Grab your binoculars
Come follow me
