When I Grow Up - Tim Minchin
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
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 I will eat sweets
Everyday 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 because I'll be all grown up
When I grow 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
When you a grown up
Grown up
And when I grow up when
I grow up when I grow up
I will be brave enough to fight the creatures
That you have to fight beneath the bed
Each night to be a grown up
And when I grow up when I grow up
I will have treats everyday
And I'll play with things that mum pretends
That mums don't think are fun
And I will wake up 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 because I'll be all 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
The bed each night to be a grown up
When I grow up
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
Nothing will change
When I grow up
Just because I find myself in this story
It doesn't mean that everything is written for me
If I think the ending is fixed already
I might as well be saying
I think that it's ok
And that's not right
