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
or Bbmdim
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
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 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
or Bbmdim
And I won't burn 'cause I'll be all grown up
When I grow up
(Miss Honey:)
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
(Matilda)
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 you find yourself 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
