Will I Ever Grow Up - Lyrics - Raffi

Will I ever grow up, Mama? Will I ever grow up, Papa? Will I ever grow up to be like you So big and strong? Will I ever grow up, Mama? Do you think that I can, Papa? Will I ever grow up to be like you? Say that I will. Can I be a grown-up, too Doing things grown-ups do Going off to work one day All by myself? Will I have a grown-up voice Wearing grown-up clothes And babies of my own In my family home? Will I ever grow up, Mama? Will I ever grow up, Papa? Will I ever grow up to be like you So big and strong? Will I ever grow up, Mama? Do you think that I can, Papa? Will I ever grow up to be like you? Say that I will. Will I ever grow up? Can't I be just like you? Say that I will.
