When I Grow Up.

When I grow up I'm going to be the very best that I can be.
A Pilot in a Jumbo Jet, or a ships Captain on the high sea.
An Astronaut, a Fireman, or a Policeman who upholds the Law.
A Lumberjack who cuts down trees with an electric saw.
I might like to be a Doctor or a Nurse who make the sick well.
But I'm only young and may change my mind, I don't know yet.
Only time will tell.

I'll have to study and work hard
and do my best at school each day.
But I've got time at six years old
so I'm going out to play.
