When I Grow Up - Shirley Temple
Lyricist：Ray Henderson
Composer：Ray Henderson
When I grow up
In a year or two or three
I'll be happy as can be
Like a birdie in a 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
Oh teacher dear
The gangs all here
With apples today
When I grow up
I will have a big surprise
For I'll bake the kind of pies
That'll 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
When I am sweet sixteen I'm going to a ball
Of all the ladies there
I'd like to be the best of all
I'll wear a dress of silver and lace
They'll call me Princess Curly
I'll be like Cinderella 'cept
I won't run home so early
I want to meet a handsome prince
With a uniform of gold
But I won't lose my slipper
'Cause my tootsies might get cold
I'll talk with queens and dance
With kings like a little princess would
If I could only do these things
I promise I'll be good
When I am twenty one
I wish that I could look
Like the picture that
I saw in a pretty story book
A lady all dressed up in white
With flowers in her hand
And such a veil I never saw
The biggest in the land
Four little girls were standing there
Much tinier than me
And they all carried baskets
They looked happy as can be
Every one was smiling and having lots of fun
I wish that I could be like that
When I am twenty one
When I get very very old
I'll stay at home all day
But I haven't quite made up my mind
It's much too far away
I think that I would like to be like
The lady on the wall
She looks so nice and comfy in her rocking
Chair 'n' all
With that little cap upon her head
She looks real pretty too
I like her long and funny dress
I like her hair don't you
It must be oh
So quiet you can hear the tick of the clock
But it must be fun to have nothing
To do but rock and rock and rock
