When I grow up
I will be tall enough to reach the branches
That I need to reach to climb the trees
You get to climb when you're grown up
And when I grow up
And when I grow up
And when I grow up
I will be smart enough to answer all
The questions that you need to know
The answers to before you're grown up
And when I grow 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
Even if you're little you can do a lot, you
Mustn't let a little thing like little stop you
If you sit around and let them get on top, you
Won’t change a thing
Just because you find that life's not fair, it
Doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it
If you always take it on the chin and wear it
You might as well be saying you think that it's okay
And that's not right
And if it's not right, you have to put it right
But nobody else is gonna put it right for me
Nobody but me is gonna change my story
Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty
