[00:00.00]When I Grow Up - Tim Minchin
[00:01.10]When I grow up
[00:05.97]I will be tall enough to reach the branches
[00:09.87]That I need to reach to climb the trees
[00:13.90]You get to climb when you're grown up
[00:20.52]And when I grow up
[00:25.70]I will be smart enough to answer
[00:28.69]All the questions that you need to know
[00:32.43]The answers to before you're grown up
[00:39.80]And when I grow up I will eat sweets
[00:43.23]Everyday on the way to work and I
[00:47.64]Will go to bed late every night
[00:52.64]And I will wake up when the sun
[00:55.70]Comes up and I will watch cartoons
[00:58.87]Until my eyes go square
[01:01.24]And I won't care because I'll be all grown up
[01:06.59]When I grow up
[01:14.70]When I grow up when I grow up when I grow up
[01:19.35]I will be strong enough to carry
[01:22.23]All the heavy things you have to haul around
[01:26.63]When you a grown up
[01:28.35]Grown up
[01:32.78]And when I grow up when
[01:34.68]I grow up when I grow up
[01:37.47]I will be brave enough to fight the creatures
[01:41.13]That you have to fight beneath the bed
[01:44.73]Each night to be a grown up
[01:49.64]And when I grow up when I grow up
[01:52.60]I will have treats everyday
[01:55.57]And I'll play with things that mum pretends
[01:59.09]That mums don't think are fun
[02:01.90]And I will wake up I will wake up
[02:04.74]When the sun comes up and I will spend
[02:08.18]All day just lying in the sun
[02:11.27]And I won't burn because I'll be all grown up
[02:16.67]When I grow up
[02:41.23]When I grow up
[02:46.52]I will be brave enough to fight the creatures
[02:50.84]That you have to fight beneath
[02:53.92]The bed each night to be a grown up
[03:01.11]When I grow up
[03:02.46]Just because you find that life's not fair
[03:05.49]It doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it
[03:09.83]If you always take it on the chin and wear it
[03:13.58]Nothing will change
[03:16.88]When I grow up
[03:17.98]Just because I find myself in this story
[03:21.50]It doesn't mean that everything is written for me
[03:25.34]If I think the ending is fixed already
[03:29.10]I might as well be saying
[03:31.13]I think that it's ok
[03:33.80]And that's not right
