When I'm five
Nothing in the world is gonna bother me
I'll go to bed
Wearing underoos
Cuz underoos are groovy
When I'm five
I won't have to worry 'bout the deficit
I'll eat some paste
And I'll suck my thumb
Cuz thumbs were made for sucking
When I'm five
I will start to read a book like big kids do
But it'll be real hard
So then I'll color some
Cuz coloring is easy
When I'm five (I'll be almost six)
I won't know the people starving round the world
And that's real sad
But I won't know
Cuz know one ever told me
When I'm five
I won't know the pain that goes with broken hearts
I'll play with blocks
And I won't touch girls
Cuz they could give me kooties
When I'm five
I won't have to think if there's a God or not
I'll believe in him
And he'll believe in me
And that is called religion
When I'm five
Everything gets better with a good night's sleep
Laughing's fine
And so is crying too
Cuz everybody does it
When I'm five
Nothing in the world is gonna bother me
I'll play with mud
And I'll sing some songs
Cuz songs are there for singing
