Michelle Shocked - When I Grow Up Lyrics

When I grow up I want to be an old woman

When I grow up I want to be an old woman

Oh, an o-o-o-o-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 oooooold...
