Text: The Lads. Astronaut.

(V1)
When I grow up
When at last I find I'm a grown up
When I cannot climb any higher
What will I be

(V2)
When I grow up
When I've finished school and I have to go
When I've learnt the things that I've got to know
What will I be
4,3,2,1, blast off!

(CH)
Astronaut
Wouldn't it be fun
Flying in the sun
And on to Jupiter and Mars
Heading out to Pluto
Flying in my spaceship
Going anywhere I want to go

(V3)
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

(V4)
When I grow up
When I've done the things that I tried to do
Will I be someone to look up to
What will I be
4,3,2,1, blast off!

(OUTRO)
When I grow up, will my dreams belong to me
When I grow up, what will I be
Will there be hope for me
Does anybody know, which way to go
Cos I want to know
