When I Get To Eleven Lyrics - The New Amsterdams

Timmy is only ten years old, 

made his mind up long ago, 

i won't grow to be old, 

eleven will suit me fine. 

So he stopped eating peas, 

stopped eating broccoli, 

he won't eat anything 

to help him build big strong bones. 

So in his bed he'll lay, 

he'll f. his hands to say, 

one two three four five six seven 

seven eight nine ten eleven 

when i get to eleven i don't wanna grow no more 

another kids would ask of tim 

really what was wrong with him 

he would not answer them 

tim would only walk away 

it's not that tim was bad 

or twelve would make him mad 

just that eleven was the best number to be 

a million times he's told 

other kids are getting old 

one two three four five six seven 

seven eight nine ten eleven 

when i get to eleven i don't wanna grow no more 

and eight nine ten at eleven i'll stop 

i don't want to grow up 

when i get to eleven i don't wanna grow no more 

the day had finally come 

the zero turned to one 

he blew his candles on a chocolate birthday pie 

but tim was kind of sad 

so he told mom and dad 

twelve doesn't seem so bad 

i think i'll give it a try 

that night when he would sing 

he changed a couple things 

one two three four five six seven 

seven eight nine ten eleven 

when i get to eleven i'm gonna grow some more 

and eight nine ten at eleven don't stop 

i want to grow up 

when i get to eleven i'm gonna grow some more
