Lyrics[]
What I want to be, what I want to be
When I grow up to be big me.
What I want to be, what I want to be
Is a policeman or a firefighter.
Each day I work, what fun it would be.
I'll always do my responsibility.
I'll do what I do so carefully
When I grow up to be big me.
What I want to be, what I want to be
When I grow up to be big me.
What I want to be, what I want to be
Is a doctor or a ballerina.
Each day I work, what fun it would be.
I'll always do my responsibility.
I'll do what I do so carefully
When I grow up to be big me.
What I want to be, what I want to be
When I grow up to be big me.
What I want to be, what I want to be
Is a chef, chef, chef.
Each day I work, what fun it would be.
I'll always do my responsibility.
I'll do what I do so carefully
When I grow up to be big me.
What I want to be, what I want to be
When I grow up to be big me.
What I want to be, what I want to be
Is a doctor or a mail carrier.
Each day I work, what fun it would be.
I'll always do my responsibility.
I'll do what I do so carefully
When I grow up to be big me.
What I want to be, what I want to be
When I grow up to be big me.
What I want to be, what I want to be
Is a farmer or a firefighter.
Each day I work, what fun it would be.
I'll always do my responsibility.
I'll do what I do so carefully
When I grow up to be big me.
What I want to be, what I want to be
When I grow up to be big me.
What I want to be, what I want to be
Is a dentist or a mail carrier.
Each day I work, what fun it would be.
I'll always do my responsibility.
I'll do what I do so carefully
When I grow up to be big me.
What I want to be, what I want to be
When I grow up to be big me.
What I want to be, what I want to be
Is a farmer or a firefighter.
Each day I work, what fun it would be.
I'll always do my responsibility.
I'll do what I do so carefully
When I grow up to be big me.
Farmer! Firefighter!
Mail carrier! Dentist!
What I want to be, what I want to be
When I grow up to be big me.
What I want to be, what I want to be
Is a cowgirl on the lone prairie.
Each day I work, what fun it would be.
I'll always do my responsibility.
I'll do what I do so carefully
When I grow up to be big me.
What I want to be, what I want to be
When I grow up to be big me.
What I want to be, what I want to be
Is a dairy farmer...1, 2, 3.
Each day I work, what fun it would be.
I'll always do my responsibility.
I'll do what I do so carefully
When I grow up to be big me.
Doctor! Cowgirl!
Baseball player!
What I want to be, what I want to be
When I go out on Halloween.
What I want to be, what I want to be
Is a princess or a ballerina.
Each house I see, what fun it would be.
We'll play trick or treat, just you and me!
I'll do what I do so carefully
When I go out on Halloween.
What I want to be, what I want to be
When I go out on Halloween.
What I want to be, what I want to be

We'll do what we do so carefully
When I go out on Halloween.
What I want to be, what I want to be
When I grow up to be big me.
What I want to be, what I want to be
Is a doctor or a schoolteacher.
