“When I Grow Up,” lyrics and music by Tim Minchin, the Matilda Musical
Those who know me well know how much Matilda means to me, as a classic work of children’s literature as well as the meanings and messages it involves—the transformative powers of reading, the wits and resourcefulness we harness to shape our own destiny, the unjust hand Lady Fate sometimes deals us. Then add Tim Minchin, the perfect compliment to Dahl’s witty and dark humour.
This song is everything I love about being young at heart.
When I grow up, I will be tall enough to reach the branches that I need to reach to climb trees you get to climb when you’re grown up
And when I grow up, I will be smart enough to answer all the questions that you need to know the answers to before you’re grown up
And when I grow up, I will eat sweets every day on the way to work and I will go to bed late every night
And I will wake up when the sun comes up and I will watch cartoons until my eyes go square and I won’t care cause I’ll be all grown up
When I grow up
When I grow up, When I grow up (When I grow up)
I will be strong enough to carry all the heavy things you have to haul around with you when you’re a grown-up
And when I grow up, when I grow up (when I grow up), I will be brave enough to fight
creatures that you have to fight beneath the bed each night to be a grown-up
When I grow up (When I grow up) I will have treats every day and I’ll play with things that Mum pretends that mums don’t think are fun
And I will wake up (I will wake up) when the sun comes up and I will spend all day just lying in the sun and I won’t burn cause I’ll be all grown-up
When I grow up
When I grow up I will be brave enough to fight the creatures that you have to fight beneath the bed each night to be a grown-up
When I grow up
Just because you find that life’s not fair it doesn’t mean that you just have to grin and bear it, if you always take it on the chin and wear it, nothing will change
When I grow up
Just because I find myself in this story, it doesn’t mean that everything is written for me, if I think the ending is fixed or ready I might as well be saying “I think that it’s okay” and that’s not right!
Off to watch some cartoons now.
