I'll Never Grow Up, Now!


[words, music: D. Snider]

They say:
Hey whaddaya doin' with your life
Why don'tcha settle down and find yourself a wife
Don'tcha know you can't run away from here
When will you act your age, why don'tcha listen dear

I say:
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up, now

They say:
You better stop your dreamin', you're goin' nowhere fast
What if we throw you out, how long you think you'll last
When will you go to school, why don'tcha get a job
Hey girl you better shape up, you're looking like a slob

Well I say:
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up, now
And I say it again
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up, now

I can't believe you can't hear what you're saying
Take a good look at yourself
Why don'tcha you listen to the music we're playing
Go pick on somebody else

[Solo - Eddie]

They say:
You think that life's a free ride, well take a tip from me
We're gonna end your party with some responsibility

I say:
I'll never grow up (ha ha ha ha)
I'll never grow up (oh)
I'll never grow up, now
(Alright but you can do better than that, everybody sing)
I'll never grow up (come on)
I'll never grow up (come on)
I'll never grow up, now
(Go, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme)
I'll never grow up (hey you in the back, yeah you)
I'll never grow up (don't you stand there, sing along)
I'll never grow up, now
I'll never grow up (grow up now)
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up, now (yippee, I want my mother)
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up (what are these people doing in my room)
I'll never grow up, now (get off of my bed, I gotcha, I gotcha in my dresser)
I'll never grow up (what's happening?)
I'll never grow up (?)
I'll never grow up, now
