I Won't Grow Up
I won't grow up
I don't wanna go to school
Just to learn to be a parrot
And recite a silly rule
If growing up means it would be
Beneath my dignity to climb a tree
I'll never grow up, never grow up
Never grow up, not me
I won't grow up
I don't wanna wear a tie
And a serious expression
In the middle of July
And if it means I must prepare
To shoulder burdens with a worried air
I'll never grow up, never grow up
Never grow up, not me
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
Not a penny will I pinch
I will never grow a mustache
Or a quarter of an inch
'Cause growing growing up is awfuller
Than all the awful things that ever were
I'll never grow up, never grow up
Never grow up, no sir
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
