When I grow up, what should I be?
I could be anything, it's true.
So many things I'd like to see,
So many things that I could do.
I would like to be a fireman,
Fighting fires all day long.
To drive big trucks the best that I can,
I would have to be very strong.
I could be a cowboy some day
And ride everywhere on my horse.
I'd chase after cows that run away
and live on a ranch, of course.
Pilots have lots of fun, I bet.
Up in the sky, up and away!
Big planes, little planes, even jets--
I'd like to fly them all some day.
Planting corn, potatoes, and wheat--
A farmer is what I should be.
Raising animals would be neat.
Yes, farming is the life for me!
If I want to lead my country,
I could be president when I'm grown.
All decisions would be up to me,
And the White House would be my home.
A pirate is what I could be,
Sailing my ship day after day.
Searching for treasure in the sea,
Having adventures on the way.
I could be an astronaut
And fly my rocket to the moon.
Mars might be my favorite spot.
I hope that I will grow up soon!
So many things that I could do!
I don't know what I'd rather be.
But one thing that I know is true:
When I grow up, I will be me.
THE END
