When I Grow Up (Reprise) Lyrics

ALL
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 trees
You get to climb when you're grown up

ALL
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

ALL
And when I grow up
(When I grow up)
I will eat sweets every day
On the way to work and I
Will go to bed late every night

ALL
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 because I'll be all grown up

ALL
When I grow up

MATILDA
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

MATILDA
Just because you find that life's not fair
It doesn't mean 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

MATILDA
And if it's not right
You have to put it right

MATILDA
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—

MISS TRUNCHBULL
Maggots!

MATILDA
Naughty!
