(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.
(Tommy & Reginald)
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 every day
on the way to work and I
will go to bed late every night!
(Tommy, Reginald, Eric & Alice)
And I will wake up
when the sun comes up and I
will watch cartoons until my eyes go square
(All)
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!
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 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!
