~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

VERSE 1:
When I grow up I want to be a tree
I want to make my home with the birds and the bees
And the squirrels they can count on me
When I grow up to be a tree

VERSE 2:
I'll let my joints get stiff put my feet in the ground
Take the winters off I'll settle down
I'll keep my clothes till they turn brown
When I grow up I'm gonna settle down

CHORUS:
I'm gonna reach, I'm gonna reach
I'm gonna reach, Reach for the sky
I'm gonna reach, I'm gonna reach
I'm gonna reach, Till I know why

VERSE 3:
When the spring comes by I'm gonna get real green
When the dogs come by I'll get real mean
On windy days I'll bend and lean
When I grow up I'm gonna get real green

BRIDGE:
If I should fall in a storm or a slumber
Please don't turn me into lumber
I'd rather be a Louisville Slugger
Swinging for the seats

REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
