Verse 1

When I grow up

 When at last I find Im a grown up

 When I cannot climb any higher

 What will I be, What will I be, What will I be

When I grow up

 When Ive finished school and I have to go

 When Ive learnt the things that Ive gotta know

 What will I be, What will I be, What will I be

(4,3,2,1)

Chorus

Astronaut

Wouldnt it be fun

Flying in the sun

 And on to Jupiter and Mars

Heading out to Pluto

Flying in my Spaceship

 Going anywhere I want to go

Verse 2

When I grow up

 Will I want the things that I want today

 Will they be the things Ill need on my way

 What will I need, What will I need, What will I need

When I grow up

 When Ive done the things that Ive tried to do

 Will I be someone to look up to

 What will I be, What will I be, What will I be

(4,3,2,1)

Outro

Will I be a space man

Will I be a good man

Will I ever understand why I am alive

Will I be a good guy

Will I be a cacti

Will I ever know why, why I am alive

When I grow up

 Will my dreams belong to me

Will there be hope for me

 Does anybody know

 Which way to go

 Cause I want to know
