"I Won't Grow Up" lyrics

I won't grow up
I don't wanna go to school
Just to learn to be a parrot
And recite a silly rule

If growing up means it would be
Beneath my dignity to climb a tree
I'll never grow up, never grow up
Never grow up
Not me
Not me

I won't grow up
I don't wanna wear a tie
And a serious expression
In the middle of July

And if it means I must prepare
To shoulder burdens with a worried air
I'll never grow up, never grow up
Never grow up
Not me
Not me
So there

Never ever gonna grow
I won't
Like to see somebody try
And make me
Anyone who wants to try
And make me be a boring man
'Stead o' Peter Pan
Catch me if you can

I won't grow up
Not a penny will I pinch
I will never grow a mustache
Or a fraction of an inch

Cause growing up is awfuler
Than all the awful things that ever were
I'll never grow up, never grow up
Never grow up
No sir, not I
Not me, no way
No how
So there
