^FWhen I grow u^Cp I will be ^Bbtall enough to reach the branches ^Bbmthat I need to reach to climb the ^Ftrees you get to ^Cclimb when you're grown ^Bbup.

^Bb9 And when I grow up I will ^F/Aeat sweets every day on the w^Gm7ay to work and I will go to ^Fbed late every night! ^Bb9 And I will wake up when the ^F/Asun comes up and I will watch c^Gm7artoons until my eyes go square and ^C7I won't care 'cause ^A7/C#I'll be all grown up! ^Dm When ^Dm7/CI grow ^Bbup!

^F When I grow up, when I grow ^Cup I will be ^Bbstrong enough to carry all the ^Gm7heavy things you have to haul ar^Found with you when ^Cyou're a grown-^Bbup! ^F And when I grow up, when I grow ^Cup, when I grow up I will be ^Bbbrave enough to fight the creatures ^Gm7that you have to fight beneath the bed ^Feach night to ^C/Ebe a grown-^Bbup!

I will ^F/Ahave treats every day. And I'll play ^Gm7with things that mum pretends that ^Fmums don't think are fun.
