When I grow up
When at last I find I'm a grownup
When I cannot climb any higher
What will I be?
What will I be?
What will I be?
When I grow up
When I've finished school and I have to go
When I've learnt the things that I've gotta know
What will I be?
What will I be?
What will I be?
(4, 3, 2, 1!)
Astronaut, wouldn't it be fun?
Flying in the sun
And on to Jupiter and Mars
Astronaut, heading out to Pluto
Flying in my spaceship
Going anywhere I wanna go
When I grow up
Will I want the things that I want today?
Will they be the things I'll need on my way?
What will I need?
What will I need?
What will I need?
When I grow up
When I've done the things that I've tried to do
Will I be someone to look up to?
What will I be?
What will I be?
What will I be?
(4, 3, 2, 1!)
Astronaut, wouldn't it be fun?
Flying in the sun
And on to Jupiter and Mars
Astronaut, heading out to Pluto
Flying in my spaceship
Going anywhere I wanna go
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
That's where I'm gonna go
What will I be? What will I be?
What will I be? What will I be?
What will I be? (Will I be a space man? will I be a good man?)
What will I be? (Will I ever understand why I am alive?)
What will I be? (Will I be a good guy? Will I be a cacti?)
What will I be? (Will I ever know why, why I am alive?)
What will I be? (Will I be a space man? will I be a good man?)
What will I be? (Will I ever understand why I am alive?)
What will I be? (Will I be a good guy? Will I be a cacti?)
What will I be? (Will I ever know why, why I am alive?)
Yeah
What will I be?
Tell me, what will I be?
When I grow up
Will my dreams belong to me?
When I grow up, what will I be?
Will there be hope for me?
What will I be? Does anybody know?
What will I be? Which way to go?
What will I be? 'Cause I want to know
