Tim Minchin - When I grow up

When I grow up
I will be tall enough to reach the branches
That you have 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
When 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 'cos I'll be all grown 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)
I will be brave enough to fight the creatures that you have to fight
Beneath your bed each night
To be a grown up

And when I grow up (when I grow up)
I will have treats every day
And I'll play with things that mum pretends that mum's 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 'cos I'll be all grown up
When I grow up
