Grand Circle.
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. Allemande and Weave.
If growing up means it would be,
Do Sa Do, then Promenade with me.
I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up,
Not me! Not I.

I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up,
Not me!
Grand Circle.
I won't grow up... I won't grow up.
I don't want to wear a tie... I don't want to wear a tie.
And a serious expression... and a serious expression.
In the middle of July. Allemande and Weave.
And if it means I must prepare,
Do Sa Do and Promenade from there.
I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up,
Not me! Not I.

I won't grow up ... I won't grow up.
Not a penny will I pinch ... Not a penny will I pinch.

Or a fraction of an inch. Allemande and Weave.
'Cause growing up is awfuller.
Do Sa Do, Promenade with her.
I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up,
Not me! Not I.
