Mama Daddy can't you see
I'll always be the boy that I wanna be
'Cause I'm only seven and I don't understand
Just what it means to be a serious man
Ah la la la, la la la la la la
Ah la la la, la la la la la la
I want to be an astronaut in outer space
Clown around a circus in a painted face
Live inside an igloo like an Eskimo
Ride the wild ponies in the rodeo
I can be an artist with my finger paints
And be a million other things my sister ain't
'Cause she's always busy talking on the phone
And always screaming at me to leave her alone
Ah la la la, la la la la la la
Ah la la la, la la la la la la
I want to be this small for eternity
I need someone to believe in me
Ah la la la, la la la la la la
Ah la la la, la la la la la la
I can be a robot with a million parts
Or be the doctor with the cure for broken hearts
There's too many people that are crying today
When all they need to do is get out and play
Ah la la la, la la la la la la
Ah la la la, la la la la la la
I think the answer to all life's troubles
Can be settled with a friendly game of marbles
Sunday breakfast on a Saturday morning
Can make you thank your mama for the day you were born
Lemon drop lollipop tootie fruity
I'll never kiss a girl because I'm scared of cooties
Never be hanging out with Bobby Ray
'Cause I beat him when I cheat him at the games we play
Ah la la la, la la la la la la
Ah la la la, la la la la la la
Ah la la la, la la la la la la
Ah la la la, la la la la la la
