PETER PAN:<br />

Are you ready for today's lesson?<br />

<br />

ALL:<br />

Yes, Peter!<br />

<br />

PETER PAN:<br />

Listen to your teacher. Repeat after me:<br />

I won't grow up,<br />

(I won't grow up)<br />

I don't want to go to school.<br />

(I don't want to go to school)<br />

Just to learn to be a parrot,<br />

(Just to learn to be a parrot)<br />

And recite a silly rule.<br />

(And recite a silly rule)<br />

If growing up means<br />

It would be beneath my dignity to climb a tree,<br />

I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up<br />

Not me!<br />

Not I,<br />

Not me!<br />

Not me!<br />

I won't grow up,<br />

(I won't grow up)<br />

I don't want to wear a tie.<br />

(I don't want to wear a tie)<br />

And a serious expression<br />

(And a serious expression)<br />

In the middle of July.<br />

(In the middle of July)<br />

And if it means I must prepare<br />

To shoulder burdens with a worried air,<br />

<br />

I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up<br />

Not me,<br />

Not I,<br />

Not me!<br />

So there!<br />

Never gonna be a man,<br />

I won't!<br />

Like to see somebody try<br />

And make me.<br />

Anyone who wants to try <br />

And make me turn into a man,<br />

Catch me if you can.<br />

I won't grow up.<br />

Not a penny will I pinch.<br />

I will never grow a mustache,<br />

Or a fraction of an inch.<br />

'Cause growing up is awfuller<br />

Than all the awful things that ever were.<br />

I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up,<br />

No sir,<br />

Not I,<br />

Not me,<br />

So there!<br />

<br />

I won't grow up!<br />

(I won't grow up)<br />

I will never even try<br />

(I will never even try)<br />

I will do what Peter tells me<br />

(I will do what Peter tells me)<br />

And I'll never ask him why<br />

(And I'll never ask him why)<br />

<br />

We won't grow up!<br />

(We won't grow up)<br />

We will never grow a day <br />

(We will never grow a day)<br />

And if someone tries to make it<br />

(And if someone tries to make it)<br />

We will simply run away<br />

(We will simply run away)<br />

<br />

I won't grow up!<br />

(I won't grow up)<br />

No, I promise that I won't<br />

(No, I promise that I won't)<br />

I will stay a boy forever<br />

(I will stay a boy forever)<br />

And be banished if I don't!<br />

(And be banished if I don't)<br />

<br />

And Never Land will always be<br />

The home of beauty and joy<br />

And neverty<br />

I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up<br />

Not me!<br />

Not me!<br />

Not me!<br />

Not me!<br />

No sir!<br />

Not me!
