Lyrics by：Tim Minchin

Composed by：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 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

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

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

I will have treats every day

And I'll play with things that mom pretends

That moms 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

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

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

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 okay

And that's not right
