When I Get Big

When you're 4 or 5 years old

It's really hard to make up your mind

What you want to be when you grow up

After all you do have a lot of choices

I might drive a truck, I might drive a train

I might sail a boat or fly an airplane

Might take a rocket ship to the moon

I'm growin' pretty fast so it might be soon

When I get big, when I get big

That's what I'm gonna do when I get big

Someday I'll leave mom and dad all alone

Make a lot of money then come back home

I'll buy everybody everything they like

I'll even buy myself a brand new bike

When I get big, when I get big

That's what I'm gonna do when I get big

I might be president and stop all the wars

And make people happy wherever they are

Protect all the animals, the dolphins and the whales

If people try to hurt 'em, I'll put 'em in jail

When I get big, when I get big

That's what I'm gonna do when I get big

When I get big, when I get big

That's what I'm gonna do when I get big

When I get big, when I get big

That's what I'm gonna do when I get big
