When I grow up I wanna pony 
I'm gonna ride her from dusk 'til dawn 
I'm gonna brush her mane 
And feed her sugar cane 
And keep her in safe from the storm 
 
If I had a pony 
I wonder 
Could I be your girl 
 
When I grow up I wanna baby 
I'm gonna name it after Ralph Stanley 
And I sure I won't mind 
When it cries all night 
Just as long as it looks like me 
 
If I had a baby 
I wonder 
Could I be your girl 
 
(Chorus) 
Yodelay he yodeloh oh 
You rock my world 
Yodelay he yodeloh oh 
When I grow up 
I wanna be your girl 
 
When I grow up I wanna a cowboy 
With dust all over his jeans 
With a horse named Jack 
And a ten gallon hat 
He is nice but he looks so mean 
 
If you were a cowboy 
I wonder 
Could I be your girl 
 
(Repeat Chorus) 
 
When I grow up I'll be a lady 
All my rings will be made of gold 
I'll put flowers in my room 
I'll wear perfume 
I won't listen to rock and roll 
 
If I was a lady 
I wonder 
Could I be your girl 
Oh yeah 
 
(Repeat Chorus) 
 
When I grow up I wanna be 
When I grow up I wanna be 
When I grow up I wanna be your girl 
 
When I grow up I wanna pony 
When I grow up I wanna baby 
When I grow up I wanna cowboy 
When I grow up I'll be a lady
