Here are the lyrics to the song "When I Grow Up" from Matilda the Musical:
BRUCE:
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. BRUCE + TOMMY:
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 AMANDA + ERIC:
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! BRUCE, TOMMY, AMANDA, + ERIC:
And I will wake up
When the sun comes up and I
Will watch cartoons until my eyes go square ALL CHILDREN EXCEPT MATILDA:
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! ADULTS AND CHILDREN:
And 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
when i grow up lyrics
