Everybody Once Was a Kid

Everybody once was a kid
Everyone who's somebody now
They all grew up like you will, they're working at it still
Everybody once was a kid

Everybody once was a kid (everybody once was a kid)
Everyone who's somebody now (everyone who's somebody now)
They all grew up like you will, they're working at it still
Everybody once was a kid

Even Michael Jordan had to learn to tie his shoelaces
Everybody needs to if they're ever gonna go places
Even Babe Ruth had to eat his vegetables to grow up strong
That's how he could be the home run champ and hit the ball so long

Everybody once was a kid (everybody once was a kid)
Everyone who's somebody now (everyone who's somebody now)
They all grew up like you will, they're working at it still
Everybody once was a kid

Amelia Earhart had to learn to tell the time before she flew
Aretha learned to hit high notes, at first she probably missed a few
Even Martin Luther King fell lots of times before he walked
Even Mother Teresa made some goo goo sounds before she talked

Everybody once was a kid (everybody once was a kid)
Everyone who's somebody now (everyone who's somebody now)
They all grew up like you will, they're working at it still
Everybody once was a kid

Even the Beatles probably had the measles
Even Michael Fox had the chicken pox
Even Baryshnikov had the whooping cough
They all survived them, you will surmount them

Peter, Paul and Mary were just kids before they learned to sing
Elvis was a little boy long before he was the King
Everybody as they're growing has to climb so many hurdles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles once were baby Ninja Turtles

Everybody once was a kid (everybody once was a kid)
Everyone who's somebody now (everyone who's somebody now)
They all grew up like you will, they're working at it still
Everybody once was a kid (cowabunga, dude!)
Everybody once was a kid (awesome, man!)
Everybody once was a kid
