Verse

When I grow up maybe I'll be a veterinarian.

I'll take care of little animals

like ponies and parakeets

and I'll give them food to eat

and the puppies go "yip, yip, yip"

and the kitties go "meow, meow, meow"

and thank you veterinarian.

Chorus

maybe I'll be an astronaut and work for NASA.

maybe I'll see you on the moon,

I'll see you on the moon,

I'll see you on the moon.

Bridge

There's lots of things that you can be,

when you grow up, just wait and see.

Verse

When I grow up maybe I'll be a farmer.

grow all kinds of food to eat

like shiny apples red or green

or fields of corn for dinnertime

I'll drive my tractor in the sun

while the chickens go "bock, bock, bock"

and the cows go "moo, moo, moo"

and thank you farmer.

Chorus

Verse

When I grow up maybe I'll be a carpenter,

and build a big, long house

for people and their families

and I'll build it out of wood and bricks

with a porch where people can sit

and the hammers go "knock, knock, knock"

and the saws go "chop, chop, chop"

and thank you carpenter.

Bridge

Verse

When I grow up maybe I'll be a singer in a band

and I'll drive all across the land

with my friends all in the van

and I'll sing into a microphone

but when it's over, I'll come home

while the people go "clap, clap, clap"

and the drummer goes "tap, tap, tap"

and thank you singer.
