Matilda: The Musical
When I grow up
[Tommy]
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

[Tommy, Bruce]
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

[Eric, Alice]
And when I grow up, I will eat sweets everyday on the way to work and I
Will go to bed late every night

[Tommy, Bruce, Eric, Alice]
And I will wake up when the sun comes up and I will watch cartoons
Until my eyes go square

[All children]
And I won't care because 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
When you a grown up
And when I grow up, 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, (when I grow up)
I will have treats everyday
And I'll play with things that mum pretends that mums don't think are fun

And I will wake up (I will wake up)
When the sun comes up and I will spend all day just lying in the sun
And I won't burn because I'll be all grown up

When I grow up

[Miss Honey]
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
When I grow up
