When I grow up

 I will be tall enough to reach the branches

That I need to reach 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 that you need to know

 The answers to before you're grown up

And when I grow up

 I will eat sweets every day

 On the way to work and I will

 Go to bed late every night

And I will wake up

 When the sun comes up and I

 Will watch cartoons until my eyes go square

  or Bbmdim

And I won't care 'cause I'll be all grown up

 When I grow up

When I grow up (when I grow up, when I grow up)

 I will be strong enough to carry all

 The heavy things you have to haul

Around with you when you're a grown up

When I grow up (when I grow up, when I grow up)

 I will be brave enough to fight the creatures

That you have to fight beneath the bed

 Each night to be a grown up

And when I grow up

 I will have treats every day

 And I'll play 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 just lying in the sun

  or Bbmdim

And I won't burn 'cause I'll be all grown up

 When I grow up

(Miss Honey:)

When I grow up

 I will be brave enough to fight the creatures

That you have to fight beneath the bed

 Each night to be a grown up

When I grow up

(Matilda)

Just because you find that life's not fair it

Doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it

If you always take it on the chin and wear it

Nothing will change

(When I grow up)

Just because you find yourself in this story

 It doesn't mean that everything is written for me

If I think the ending is fixed already

I might as well be saying I think that it's OK

And that's not right
