Grow Up
Grow Up.
Oh why oh why
Did we have to grow up?
I was happy as Larry
And a pig in muck
When I was just a baby
Everyone would stop and smile
And say things like ‘’oh isn’t he cute’’
But now I’ve grown up
I no longer get the attention
Because I grew up to be an ugly brute
We got breastfed as a kid
And if you’ve never been Breastfed
You haven’t lived
When we were kids on the Common
We’d play on the rec
But now I’ve grown up
I’m just a nervous wreck
I used to wear my sisters hand me down knickers
None were mine
But now I wear women's knickers and things
All the time
And Xmas stockings not just for Xmas but
All year round
Of course, we were naughty
And promised each other not to tell
But I’m writing now
From my prison cell
Far gone are the nice messages and presents
You got when not well
Now I get no presents
But plenty of messages
Like‘’Burn in hell’’
Yes it’s no fun growing up
But I much rather be
Just a pup.
‘’Well if you can’t beat em
Join em’’
‘’Does my bum look big in this?’’.
