I won't grow up
|
I don't wanna go to school
|
Just to learn to be a puppet
|
And recite a silly rule
|
|
If growing up means it would be
|
Beneath my dignity to climb a tree
|
I won't grow up, won't grow up, won't grow up
|
Not me.
|
|
I won't grow up
|
I don't wanna wear a tie
|
Or a serious expression
|
In the middle of July
|
|
And if it means that I must prepare
|
To shoulder burdens with a worried air
|
I'll never grow up, won't grow up, never grow up
|
So there
|
|
Never gonna be a man
|
I won't!
|
Like to see somebody try
|
And make me!
|
Anyone who wants to try
|
And make me turn into a man
|
Catch me if you can
|
|
I won't grow up
|
I don't wanna wear a tie
|
Or a serious expression
|
To try to act just like a guy
|
|
'Cause growing up's awfuller than
|
All of the awful things that's ever been
|
I won't grow up, won't grow up, won't grow up
|
Again
|
|
Growing up's awfuller than
|
All of the awful thing that's ever been
|
I won't grow up, never grow up, won't grow up
|
Again.
|
Not me.
|
Not I.
