When I grow up I'd like to be just like my mom and dad
They've shown me all the good things I thought I'd never have
When I grow up I'd like to be just like my mom and dad
They've taught me right from wrong and I'm so glad

I'd like to own a big house somewhere down by the sea
Dogs and cats and budgies and friends around for tea
I'd like a boat for sailing across the deep blue sea
Just for you and for me

When I grow up I'd like to be just like my mom and dad
They've shown me all the good things I thought I'd never have
When I grow up I'd like to be just like my mom and dad
They've taught me right from wrong and I'm so glad

I'd like lots of friends to visit every day
And have lots of children and hear them while they play
A swimming pool, a garden, lots of shady trees
Just for you and for me

When I grow up I'd like to be just like my mom and dad
They've shown me all the good things I thought I'd never have
When I grow up I'd like to be just like my mom and dad
They've taught me right from wrong and I'm so glad

They've taught me right from wrong and I'm so glad
