When You Grow Up

When you were young enough

Doing all that fun kid stuff

Did you think of what you'd be?

Marco Polo in the pool

Kickball games behind the school

Playing tag and hide 'n' seek

When you grow up, what kind of boy will you be?

Oh, what will you be?

Drawing pictures with some chalk

Raindrops wash it from the walk

Summer days it never ends

Spin the bottle on the ground

Watch it turning round and round

Maybe he will be my friend

When you grow up, what kind of girl will you be?

Oh, what will you be?

Will you write a book or invent a machine?

Will you be an astronaut or will you sail the sea?

(What will I be when I grow up?)

La la, la la, la la, la la

(What will I be when I grow up?)

(What will I be when I grow up?)

(What will I be when I grow up?)

When you grow up, what kind of person will you be?

Oh the things you'll be happy
