Bài hát: When I Grow Up Naughty Reprise (Matilda Original Broadway Recording)] - Original Matilda Cast

When I grow up (When I grow up, when I grow up)
I will be tall enough to reach the branches
That I need to reach to climb the tree
You get to climb when you're grown up

And when I grow up (When I grow up, when I grow up)
I will be smart enough to answer all the questions
That you need to know the answers to
Before you're grown up

And when I grow up (And when I grow up)
I will eat sweets every day
On the way to work and
I will go to bed late every night.
And I will wake up
When the sun comes up, and I
Will watch cartoons until my eyes go square,
And I won't care 'cause I'll be all grown up.
When I grow up...

Even if you're little you can do a lot, you
Mustn't let a little thing like 'little' stop you.
If you sit around and let them get on top, you
Won't change a thing...
Just because you find that life's not fair, it
Doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it.
If you always take it on the chin and wear it,
You might as well be saying you think that it's OK.
And that's not right.
And if it's not right, you have to put it right.
But nobody else is gonna put it right for me.
Nobody but me is gonna change my story.
Sometimes you have to be a little bit (Trunchbull: "Maggots...") naughty
