When I grow up I\u2019m going to be demure
\nI\u2019m gonna Tee Hee instead of guffaw
\nI\u2019ll quite screaming at the TV during a game
\nAnd I\u2019ll sit quietly like a proper dame<\/p>\n
When I grow up I\u2019ll not tell jokes
\nOr do my imitations of a frog croaking
\nI\u2019ll reframe from yelling at a stupid driver
\nAnd when someone pisses me off, I\u2019ll just smile<\/p>\n
When I grow up I\u2019ll be so proper
\nA transformation from funny to boring
\nI\u2019ll read Cosmo instead of Road and Driver
\nAnd I\u2019ll eat my fried chicken with a fork<\/p>\n
Well, maybe not that<\/p>\n
When I grow up I\u2019ll wear shoes in the house
\nI\u2019ll listen to the Metropolitan instead of the opera
\nGonna replace Charlie Daniels picture with Pavarotti\u2019s
\nI\u2019ll drink wine in a stemmed glass instead of beer in a bottle<\/p>\n
After writing this song
\nI think I\u2019ll be like Peter Pan
\nAnd never grow old<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
