"When I Was A Little Boy" lyrics

When you are a little boy, first you'll have to grow
Then you'll have to guess, and then you'll have to know
First you'll play marbles and next you'll play ball
But you'll have to study fightin', study fightin' most of all

When I was a little boy, first I had to see
Then I had to feel, and then I had to steal
You learn you have to eat, and you'll have to learn to work
But you'll have to study fightin', study fightin' most of all

When you are a little boy, you'll have to get much bigger
You'll have to get much wider, you'll have to get much stronger
You'll have to throw some rocks, and you'll have to learn to run
But you'll have to study fightin', study fightin' most of all
You'll have to study fightin', study fightin' most of all
