Matilda - When I Grow Up Lyrics
When I grow up, I will be tall enough to reach the branches that I need toReach 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 thatYou need to know the answers to before you're grown up.And when I grow up, I will eat sweets everyday on the way to work and IWill go to bed late every night.And I will wake up when the sun comes up and I will watch cartoons until myEyes go square and I won't care because I'll be all grown up.When I grow upWhen I grow up, when I grow up, when I grow up, I will be strong enough toCarry all the heavy things you have to haul around when you a grown up.And when I grow up, when I grow up, when I grow up, I will be brave enoughTo fight the creatures that you have to fight beneath the bed each night toBe a grown up.And when I grow up, and when I grow up I will have treats everyday and I'llPlay 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 justLying in the sun, and I won't burn because I'll be all grown up.When I grow upWhen I grow up, I will be brave enough to fight the creatures that you haveTo fight beneath the bed each night to be a grown up.When I grow upJust because you find that lifes not fair it doesn't mean you just have toGrin and bear it. If you always take it on the chin and bear it.Just because I find myself in this story doesn't mean that everything isWritten for me if I think the ending is fixed already. I might as well beSaying I think that it's ok.And that's not rightAnd if it's not rightYou have to put it right.
