When i grow up Lyrics – Chris Nightingale , Tim Minchin
[Tommy]
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
[Bruce]
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

[Eric, Alice]
And when I grow up
I will eat sweets everyday on the way to work
And I will go to bed late every night
[Tommy, Bruce, Eric, Alice]
And I will wake up
When the sun comes up
And I will watch cartoons until my eyes go square
[All children]
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
