When I Grow Up

by Lucky Doug Fergus

/

about

A fun song about a child who is infatuated with her/his babysitter.

lyrics

Artist: Lucky Doug Fergus
Song Title: When I Grow Up
Contributing Writer(s): Doug Fergus
Publishing Company: CD Baby

She lives by herself in a duplex
Across the street from McKinley park
Goes swimming only after dark
And wears a ring to ward off sharks

She has two cats, one is named Grand Funk
The other goes by railroad
She feeds them pie a la mode
And talks to them in secret code

I wanna be like you when I grow up
I wanna be like you when I grow up

She has a boyfriend who delivers packages
He drives a big square brown truck
He looks kind of like a duck
And he’s funny and he brings her luck

Now if he doesn’t marry her then I will
She’s the nicest girl I’ve ever known
She always has cash to loan
And let’s me play games on her cell phone

I wanna be like you when I grow up
I wanna be like you when I grow up

She’s writing a novel in her spare time
She let’s me read what she has done so far
I like the old movie star
Who wills his money to his car

Every day she invites me over
And offers me a glass of cherry wine
Respectfully I decline
She forgets, I’m only nine

I wanna be like you when I grow up
I wanna be like you when I grow up
