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.’
