Mary Martin - I Won't Grow Up lyrics
rate mePETER 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!
