When I Grow up (feat. Lauren Ward & Bailey Ryon)

专辑：Matilda the Musical (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

作曲 : 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

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

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,

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.

And I won't burn 'cause I'll be all grown 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.

When I grow up...

Just because you find that life's not fair, 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 OK,

And that's not right!
