Matilda The Musical - When I Grow Up (For Solo Singer) - Karaoke Version from Zoom Karaoke

Song lyrics:

WHEN I GROW UP

I WILL BE TALL ENOUGH
TO REACH THE BRANCHES
THAT I NEED TO REACH
TO CLIMB THE TREES
YOU GET TO CLIMB
WHEN YOU'RE GROWN UP

AND WHEN I GROW UP

I WILL BE SMART ENOUGH
TO ANSWER ALL
THE QUESTIONS THAT
YOU NEED TO KNOW
THE ANSWERS TO
BEFORE YOU'RE GROWN UP

AND WHEN I GROW UP
I WILL EAT SWEETS EVERY DAY
ON THE WAY TO WORK
AND I WILL GO TO BED LATE
EVERY NIGHT

AND I WILL WAKE UP
WHEN THE SUN COMES UP
AND I WILL WATCH CARTOONS
UNTIL MY EYES GO SQUARE
AND I WON'T CARE
'CAUSE I'LL BE ALL GROWN UP

WHEN I GROW UP.....
WHEN I GROW UP
WHEN I GROW UP
WHEN I GROW UP

I WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH
TO CARRY ALL
THE HEAVY THINGS
YOU HAVE TO HAUL
AROUND WITH YOU
WHEN YOU'RE A GROWN UP

AND WHEN I GROW UP
WHEN I GROW UP
WHEN I GROW UP

I WILL BE BRAVE ENOUGH
TO FIGHT THE CREATURES
THAT YOU HAVE TO FIGHT
BENEATH THE BED
EACH NIGHT TO BE A GROWN UP

AND WHEN I GROW UP...
I WILL HAVE TREATS EVERY DAY
AND I'LL PLAY WITH THINGS
THAT MUM PRETENDS
THAT MUMS DON'T
THINK ARE FUN

AND I WILL WAKE UP...
WHEN THE SUN COMES UP
AND I WILL SPEND ALL DAY
JUST LYING IN THE SUN

AND I WON'T BURN
'CAUSE I'LL BE ALL GROWN UP
WHEN I GROW UP...

WHEN I GROW UP

I WILL BE BRAVE ENOUGH
TO FIGHT THE CREATURES
THAT YOU HAVE TO FIGHT
BENEATH THE BED
EACH NIGHT TO BE A GROWN UP

JUST BECAUSE YOU FIND
THAT LIFE'S NOT FAIR
IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU JUST
HAVE TO GRIN AND BEAR IT

IF YOU ALWAYS TAKE IT
ON THE CHIN AND WEAR IT
NOTHING WILL CHANGE

JUST BECAUSE I FIND
MYSELF IN THIS STORY
IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT
EVERYTHING IS WRITTEN FOR ME

IF I THINK THE ENDING
IS FIXED ALREADY
I MIGHT AS WELL BE SAYING
I THINK THAT IT'S OKAY
AND THAT'S NOT RIGHT!
