11. I Don't Wanna Grow Up (by Tom Waits)

When I'm lyin' in my bed at night
I don't wanna grow up
nothin' ever seems to turn out right
I don't wanna grow up
how do you move in a world of fog
that's always changing things
makes me wish that I could be a dog
when I see the price that you pay
I don't wanna gow up
I don't ever wanna be that way
I don't wanna grow up

Seems like folks turn into things that they'd never want
the only thing to live for is today...
I'm gonna put a hole in my T.V. set
I don't wanna grow up
open up the medicine chest
and I don't wanna gow up
I don't wanna have to shout it out
I don't wanna be filled with doubt
I don't wanna be a good boy scout
I don't wannt have to learn to count
I don't wanna have the biggest amount
I don't wanna grow up

Well when I see my parents fight
I don't wanna gow up
they all go out and drinking all night
and I don't wanna grow up
I'd rather stay here in my room
nothin' out there but sad and gloom
I don't wanna live in a big old tomb
on Grand Street

When I see the 5 o'clock news
I don't wanna grow up
comb their hair and shine their shoes
I don't wanna grow up
stay around in my old hometown
I don't wanna put no money down
I don't wanna get me a big old loan
work them fingers to the bone
I don't wanna float a broom
fall in love and get married then boom
how the hell did it get here so soon
I don't wanna grow up

:bounce:

All these other people thought I was talking about Toys R Us.

3. Do you hang out with a giraffe named Geoffrey?

[Whitacre D_WI]

8. No.

[m-jean03]

13. Yes you do.

Liar! I saw you two together. :P

[Lavender Brown]

14. He's a lot of fun and he pisses off conservatives.

There was this controversy because an ad for the times square store showed Geoffrey inhaling helium from a balloon, and the freepers thought it was promoting :smoke: among kids.

5. Can't I just stay in my mid 20's forever?

Or better yet, get a few years younger? :shrug:
Being a responsible adult sucks.

7. You're grown up

and told what to do
Your suit can't hide the truth
YOU'RE A FOOL!
And I refuse
To be like you...

Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah :P

[m-jean03]

10. Come to never-never land with me, Wendy!

Live with me and the lost boys.
There we can be children forever.

12. I won't grow up,

(I won't grow up)
I don't want to go to school.
(I don't want to go to school)
Just to learn to be a parrot,
(Just to learn to be a parrot)
And recite a silly rule.
(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!

15. You grow up then you die............

Wasn't there a Mellencamp lyric like that? I don't want any part of growing up. It may be harder on those around me but it is also less predictable. I'm having too much fun.

[skypilot]

16. I'm 39 and yet...

...most of the time I feel like a 22year old doofus. Do "grown ups" FEEL grown up? What's it like?

[ET Awful]

17. First thing that came to mind was the Descendents . . .

the old Descendents before they faded out then hopped on the recyle bandwagon. . .

I don't want to grow up
I don't want to grow up

If growing up means being like you
Then I don't want to be like you
Recycled trash
It's deja vu

I don't want to grow up
I don't want to grow up

You're grown up told what to do
Your suit can't hide the truth
You're a fool
And I refuse to be like you

I don't want to grow up
