When I Grow Up

Matilda

Have to say it’s one of my favourite musical songs. I remember seeing Matilda when I was about ten and loved it since! [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
