When I Grow Up

When I grow up I'm gonna do it all I'm gonna fly around the world in a rocket ship Be the first man to ride a dinosaur When I grow up I'm gonna see it all I'm gonna dig my way down to china and back Do it all wearing a cowboy hat When I grow up When I grow up I'll be as big as a bear I'm gonna have a roller coaster just for myself There won't be any room for anyone else When I grow up I'm gonna grow out a beard I'm gonna wear a fancy suit when I go to church Or have more money than the size of the earth When I grow up There's so many things I'm gonna do Because I wished on a star To let my dreams come true Fly around the world Then go off into space Be back in time for dinner And I'll clean my plate I'm gonna make my daddy proud And you can bet I'll give my momma the world I'm gonna do it all When I grow up When I grow up I'm gonna live on a farm I'm gonna spend my every day racing round on a tractor On second thoughts I think I'll be an actor When I grow up I'll have a pirate ship Big enough to have two basketball courts Call me Michael Jordan with a peg leg in shorts When I grow up There's so many things I'm gonna do Because I wished on a star To let my dreams come true Fly around the world Then go off into space Be back in time for dinner And I'll clean my plate I'm gonna make my daddy proud And you can bet I'll give my momma the world I'm gonna do it all When I grow up These days its hard to tell Where my time has gone But deep down inside I know I'm still the same kid I once was So when I grow up And I look back I wanna say I did the best I can That I'm proud to be the man I am When I grow up I'll be just like my dad I'm gonna show my young kids how to follow their dreams So they can live out the life they dream of There's so many things I'm gonna do Because I wished on a star To let my dreams come true Fly around the world Then go off into space Be back in time for dinner And I'll clean my plate Well dad I hope I made you proud And mum you gotta know you're my world I'm gonna do it all I'm gonna do it all I'm gonna do it all When I grow up When I grow up
