When I Grow Up (Reprise)

When I grow up (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 (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 (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

Even if you're little you can do a lot

You mustn't let a little thing like little stop you

If you sit around and let them get on top

You won't change a thing

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

You might as well be saying

You think that it's ok

And that's not right

And if it's not right

You have to put it right

But nobody else is gonna put it right for me

Nobody but me is gonna change my story

Sometimes you have to be a little bit (maggots!) naughty
