Lyrics

(The lyrics change depending on this episode, but these are the lyrics from "Barney's Favorites Vol. 2", which are from the Season 2 episode "I Can Do That!")

When I grow up,

I'd like to build a barn,

But I wonder if I'll know how.

I guess I'll just keep learning things a little at a time

And I think I'll start right now.

Because we learn big things

A little at a time.

To go right up a mountain,

First we learn to climb.

I can be anything when I grow up

By learning a little at a time.

When I grow up,

I'd like to write a song,

But I wonder if I'll know how.

I guess I'll just keep learning things a little at a time

And I think I'll start right now.

Because we learn big things

A little at a time.

To go right up a mountain,

First we learn to climb.

I can be anything when I grow up

By learning a little at a time.

When I grow up,

I'd like to fly a plane,

But I wonder if I'll know how.

I guess I'll just keep learning things a little at a time

And I think I'll start right now.

Because we learn big things

A little at a time.

To go right up a mountain,

First we learn to climb.

I can be anything when I grow up

By learning a little at a time.
