They say that part of growing up is Getting a job Well, I don’t wanna grow up They say part of being young is Going to school Well, I’d rather throw up
They used to say I was a good kid Now I’m a good kid Did that by staying in school But now they say that I’m a dumb man ‘Cause I’m a good kid Don’t you understand?
They say part of being grown is Having your way I guess I’ll be a grown up today They also say that the key to being grown Is staying young I don’t wanna grow up
They say that young boys got it easy Just try to please me, And you can get your way But I won’t be nobody’s baby. ‘Cause I’m so lazy, And I happen to be me
Won’t you believe The terrors deep inside won’t come out
They should have told met hat being so good Would make me so bad But nobody knew, no Growing up is not as half as fun as Growing down The other way I’m… (Under the ground, under the ground, oh)
They used to say I was a bad kid I’m glad that they did Now I play all the time Now people say I grew up early I better hurry ‘Cause good kids make bad grown ups
And part of the artistic process is going berserk But I don’t wanna blow up They say that part of growing up is getting a job I don’t wanna grow up!
They used to say I was a bad kid I’m glad that they did Now I can play all the time Now people say I grew up early I better hurry ‘Cause good kids –
Won’t you believe We’ll help you in the night ‘Til we come home
Won’t you conceive We’ll find you when you’re home, Just out of reach
