Children dream to be someone important
I wanna be a fireman when I grow up,
and if they won’t let me be a fire man,
I could be the one who lights the fires instead.
I wanna be a policeman and catch all the robbers when I grow up,
and if they won’t let me be a police man,
I’ll be the robber who gets away.
For what ever I’m gonna be,
I want to be the one in the centre of ‘all the action.’
