Lyrics:

(Solo 1)

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.

(Solo 2)
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.

(Solo 3)
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.

(Solo 4)
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.

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…

Musical Interlude

(Solo 5)
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.
