When I Grow Up Lyrics - Michelle Shocked

When I grow up I want to be an old woman 

When I grow up I want to be an old woman 

Oh, an old, an old, old woman 

Then I think I'm gonna find myself an old man 

Then I think I'm gonna marry myself that old man 

An old, an old, an old, an old, a really old man 

We're gonna have a hundred and twenty babies 

A hundred and five, ten, fifteen, twenty babies 

Uh huh, that's what I said a hundred and twenty babies 

We'll raise 'em on tiger's milk and green bananas 

Mangoes and coconuts and watermelon 

We're gonna give 'em that watermelon when they starts yellin' 

Here's what they'll yell 

In the summer we'll sit in a field and watch the sun melt 

In the winter we'll sit by a fire and watch the moon freeze 

Me my old man and a hundred and twenty babies 

Me my old man and a hundred and twenty babies 

I said, me my old man and a hundred and twenty babies 

Oh, when I grow up I want to be an old woman 

When I grow up I want to be an old
