Grow Up
Going around in shorts is considerable crime,
Oh now you can't even play with slime,
It's outrageous to talk about PeePee in public,
Do you remember now when country became republic?
Swings and slides are day dreams of many,
Remember the the train rides that costed a penny?
Enjoy a chocolate or two if want,
But there might still be hospitals that haunt.
When sports was just running around with a ball,
Doesn't matter in the ground or the hall,
When parents didn't embarrass you much,
And you wouldn't care if people judge.
Growing up is natural and not a choice,
You can tell it has happened by the change in voice,
You're bound to miss the days when you were young,
But it's the past now, the songs been sung.
