Are you ready for today's lesson
Yes Peter

Just to learn to be a parrot
to learn to be a parrot)
And recite a silly rule

If growing up means
It would be beneath my dignity to climb a tree
I'll never grow up never grow up never grow up
Not me
Not I
Not me
Not me
I won't grow up

I don't want to wear a tie
don't want to wear a tie)
And a serious expression
a serious expression)
In the middle of July
the middle of July)
And if it means I must prepare
To shoulder burdens with a worried air
I'll never grow up never grow up never grow up
Not me
Not I
Not me
So there
Never gonna be a man
I won't
Like to see somebody try
And make me
Anyone who wants to try
And make me turn into a man
Catch me if you can
I won't grow up
Not a penny will I pinch
I will never grow a mustache
Or a fraction of an inch
'Cause growing up is awfuller
Than all the awful things that ever were
I'll never grow up never grow up never grow up
No sir
Not I
Not me
So there
I won't grow up

And I'll never ask him why
I'll never ask him why)
We won't grow up

We will never grow a day

And if someone tries to make it

We will simply run away
will simply run away)
I won't grow up

No I promise that I won't
I promise that I won't)
I will stay a boy forever

And be banished if I don't

And Never Land will always be
The home of youth and joy and liberty
I'll never grow up never grow up never grow up
