When I grow up, I want to be a forester

Run through the moss on high heels

That’s what I'll do, throwing out boomerang

C Dm

Waiting for it to come back to me

Bb, F, C

[Verse 2]

Dm Bb F

When I grow up, I want to live near the sea

C Dm

Crab claws and bottles of rum

Bb F

That’s what i’ll have, staring at the seashell

C Dm Bb F C

Waiting for it to embrace me, oh ohhh ooh oh

[Verse 3]

Dm Bb

I put my soul in what I do

Last night I drew a funny man

with dark eyes and a hanging tongue

Bb F

It goes way back, I never liked a sad look

C Dm Bb F C

From someone who wants to be loved by you, oooh oooh oohh

I’m very good with plants

When my friends are away

C Dm

they let me keep the soil moist

On the seventh day I rest

F

for a minute or two

C Dm Bb F C Dm Bb F C

then back on my feet to call for you oooh ooh oooh, oooh ooh ooh ooh

Dm Bb F C

You’ve got cucumbers on your eyes

Too much time spent on nothing

C Dm

waiting for a moment to arise

Bb F

The face in the ceiling and arms too long

C Dm Bb F C Dm

I'm waiting for him to catch me oooh oooh oooh oooh
