When I Grow Up

When I grow up

I will be tall enough to reach the branches

That you have reach to climb the trees

You get to climb when you're grown up

And when I grow up

I will be smart enough to answer all

The questions that you need to know

The answers to

When you're grown up

And when I grow up

I will eat sweets every day

On the way to work and I will

Go to bed late every night

And I will wake up

When the sun comes up and I

Will watch cartoons until my eyes go square

And I won't care 'cause I'll be all grown up

When I grow up

When I grow up (when I grow up)

I will be strong enough to carry all

The heavy things you have to haul

Around with you when you're a grown up

When I grow up (when I grow up)

I will be brave enough to fight the creatures

That you have to fight beneath your bed

Each night to be a grown up

And when I grow up

I will have treats every day

And I'll play with things that mum pretends

That mums don't think are fun

And I will wake up

When the sun comes up and I

Will spend all day just lying in the sun

And I won't burn 'cause I'll be all grown up

When I grow up
