När jag blir stor

When I grow up

In a year or two or three

I'll be happy as can be

Like a birdie in the tree

When I grow up

There's a lot I want to do

I will have real dollies too

Like the woman in the shoe

I want to be a teacher

So the children can say

Teacher dear the gang's all here

With apples today

When I grow up

I will have a big surprise

For I'll bake the kind of pies

That will make you roll your eyes

And if you see

That you need some company

You can call me up and I'll come down

When I grow up
