F5                 C5
When I grow up
           Bb5
I will be tall enough to reach the branches
Bb5                                F5
That I need to reach to climb the trees
            C5                      Bb5
You get to climb when you're grown up

F5                   C5
And when I grow up
            Bb5         
I will be smart enough to answer all
      Bb5               
The questions that you need to know
     F5         C5                   Bb5
The answers to before you're grown up

Bb5
And when I grow up
       F5
I will eat sweets every day
       G5   
On the way to work and I will
      F5
Go to bed late every night
Bb5
And I will wake up
         F5
When the sun comes up and I
           G5
Will watch cartoons until my eyes go square
    E5               C5 or Bbmdim           C5 Bb5   
And I won't care 'cause I'll be all grown up
            F5
When I grow up

F5                           C5
When I grow up (when I grow up, when I grow up)
          Bb5
I will be strong enough to carry all
     Bb5
The heavy things you have to haul
F5                    C5              Bb5
Around with you when you're a grown up

F5                           C5
When I grow up (when I grow up, when I grow up)
           Bb5            
I will be brave enough to fight the creatures
Bb5                                 F5
That you have to fight beneath the bed
              C5          Bb5
Each night to be a grown up

B5
And when I grow up
        F5              
I will have treats every day
         G5
And I'll play with things that mum pretends
      F5
That mums don't think are fun
Bb5
And I will wake up
          F5
When the sun comes up and I
               G5   
Will spend all day just lying in the sun
    E5               C5 or Bbmdim         C5 Bb5   
And I won't burn 'cause I'll be all grown up
           F5
When I grow up

F5    C5    Bb5    Bb5    F5 C5 Bb5

(Miss Honey:)
F5              C5
When I grow up
           Bb5            
I will be brave enough to fight the creatures
Bb5                                 F5
That you have to fight beneath the bed
              C5          Bb5
Each night to be a grown up

When I grow up

(Matilda)
Bb5
Just because you find that life's not fair it
F5
Doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it
G5
If you always take it on the chin and wear it
Bb5
Nothing will change

(When I grow up)

Bb5
Just because you find yourself in this story
    F5
It doesn't mean that everything is written for me
G5
If I think the ending is fixed already
Bb5                          
I might as well be saying I think that it's OK


And that's not right
