I Won't Grow Up

Are you ready for today's lesson?
Yes Peter!
Listen to your teacher!
Repeat after me

I won't grow up
I won't grow up
I don't wanna go to school
I don't wanna go to school
Just to learn to be a parrot
Just to learn to be a parrot
And recite a silly rule
And recite a silly rule
If growing up means it would be beneath my dignity to climb a tree
I'll never grow up never grow up, never grow up, never grow up
Not me!
Not I!
Not me!
Not me!

I won't grow up
I won't grow up
I don't wanna wear a tie
I don't wanna wear a tie
And a serious expression
And a serious expression
In the middle of July
In the middle of July

And if it means I must prepare to shoulder burdens with a worried air
I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up
Not me!
Not I!
Not me!
So there

Never gonna be a man
I won't
Like to see somebody try
And make me
Anyone who wants to try
And make me turn into a man
Catch me if you can!

I won't grow up
I won't grow up
Not a penny will I pinch
Not a penny will I pinch
I will never grow a moustache
I will never grow a moustache
Or a fraction of an inch
Or a fraction of an inch

Cause growing up is awfuler
Than all the awful things that ever were!
I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up
No sir
Not I!
Not me!
So there!

I won't grow up
I won't grow up
I will never even try
I will never even try
I will do what Peter tells me!
I will do what Peter tells me!
And never ask him why
And never ask him why

We won't grow up
We won't grow up
We will never grow a day
We will never grow a day
And if someone tries to make us!
And if someone tries to make us!
We will simply run away
We will simply run away

I won't grow up
I won't grow up
No I promise that I won't
No I promise that I won't
I will stay a boy forever!
I will stay a boy forever!
And be banished if I don't
And be banished if I don't

And
Neverland will always be
The home of youth and joy and liberty

I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up
Not me!
Not me!
Not me!
No sir!
Not me!
