I Won't Grow Up

I Don't Wanna Go To School

Just To Learn To Be A Puppet

And Recite A Silly Rule



If Growing Up Means It Would Be

Beneath My Dignity To Climb A Tree

I Won't Grow Up, Won't Grow Up, Won't Grow Up

Not Me.



I Won't Grow Up

I Don't Wanna Wear A Tie

Or A Serious Expression

In The Middle Of July



And If It Means That I Must Prepare

To Shoulder Burdens With A Worried Air

I'll Never Grow Up, Won't Grow Up, Never Grow Up

So There



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

I Don't Wanna Wear A Tie

Or A Serious Expression

To Try To Act Just Like A Guy



'Cause Growing Up's Awfuller Than

All Of The Awful Things That's Ever Been

I Won't Grow Up, Won't Grow Up, Won't Grow Up

Again



Growing Up's Awfuller Than

All Of The Awful Thing That's Ever Been

I Won't Grow Up, Never Grow Up, Won't Grow Up

Again.

Not Me.

Not I.
