about

A list of what I'm gonna do when I'm older.
A few things in there that I wanted to do when I was older when I was younger.
'I'll write some songs about the things I've seen'.
What do you want to do when you're older?

lyrics

I’m gonna reach up and turn on the light
Have a party ‘til late at night
Sleep like Snow White. When I’m older

Learn a song on the saxophone
Tie my shoes up on my own
Find my way home. When I’m older

When I’m older. When I’m older. When I’m older. These things I will do
When I’m older. When I’m older. When I’m older. You’ll be older too

I’m gonna climb a mountain. Fly a plane
Cross the ocean and live in Spain
Have a healthy brain. When I’m older

Sing. Laugh. Dance. Smile. Every day
Get my grandkids round to play
Have hair that’s grey. When I’m older

When I’m older. When I’m older. When I’m older. My dreams will come true
When I’m older. When I’m older. When I’m older. You’ll be older too

And one day I’ll be ten years old. And soon I’ll be 15
And when I’m 20, and 35 and 30, I’ll write songs about the things I’ve seen

I’m gonna go to work with my robot friends
Take a trip round the moon again
Climb up Big Ben. When I’m older

Be friends with everyone
Get my energy from the sun
Feel like I’m young. When I’m older

I’m gonna sleep out under the stars
Own a hundred-and-one guitars
Sing ‘Life on Mars’. When I’m older

Have a good time all the time
Play the dame in a pantomime
Write songs that rhyme. When I’m older

Play music all night long
Dance to music all night long
Keep singing my song, when I’m older

Ba. Ba. Baaa. Da-n-daa
Ba. Ba. Baaa. Da-n-daa
Ba-n-da-n-daa
When I’m older
