(from a little boy's point of view)
I wish I was a grownup.
They know what they want to do.
When I get bigger than I am,
will I know what I want too?
I could be a teacher like Mr. Brown,
grading papers all day long.
When little kids learn all he knows,
then the next year, they move on.
It would be fun to be a trash man,
dumping out the garbage cans.
I love to get real dirty
and I hate to wash my hands.
I could be a policeman 'n wear a badge,
chasing bad guys all day long.
I could make 'em have a Time Out
for stuff they did that's wrong.
I'd really like to be a priest
'n teach people 'bout God's lessons,
'cept they'd say stuff I shouldn't hear
when I have to do confessions.
Or I could be like Daddy,
building houses everywhere,
but I wouldn't like to go up high
on a ladder way up there.
When you get to be a grownup,
how do you know what you wanna be?
I guess just for now, I'll be happy,
being a neat little kid like me.
