When I Grow Up Lyrics

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
