When You Grow Up Lyrics - Sesame Street

The deep sea diver says, "This is the place to be 

Swimming with the fishes here under the sea!" 

Whoa - oooo 

Would you like to be a deep sea diver 

And the taxi driver says, "Come for a ride 

I'll take you where you want to go, just step inside!" 

Whoa - oooo 

Would you like to be a taxi driver 

Folks call the veternarian and say, "Come quick!" 

When their dog or cat or horse or cow or moose gets sick 

And the barber says, "Sit here in my barber's chair 

And I'll take a pair of scissors and I'll cut your hair." 

Carpenters gets hammers, drills and other tools 

To make us chairs and tables and homes and schools 

Whoa - oooo 

Being a carpenter would hit the spot 

And astronauts blast off from their base 

They would love to do experiments in outer space 

Whoa - oooo 

It could be fun to be an astronaut 

So many things to do 

When you grow up 

Is one of these the job for you 

When you grow up 

When you grow up, yeah!
