Alice

[Chorus]

When you're small you want to grow up (you want to grow up)

And when you're big, you want to shrink down (you want to shrink down)

When you're small you want to grow up (you want to grow up)

I'm getting big, and bigger now

[Verse]

Some normal lessons in propriety

Quack, quack pubescent psychiatry

Recommending me to keep a strict

Hormonal sobriety

I'll be a new variety

Fleshy menace to society

If you banish feet like these, you know

They won't go quietly

[Pre-Chorus]

But let's keep the routine

They say, let's keep it sweet

A life of monotony keeps our little girls

Petite

[Chorus]

When you're small you want to grow up (you want to grow up)

I'm getting big, and bigger now (big and biggеr now)

[Verse]

The elastic confidencе you can't deny

Rearrange aeroplanes in the sky

I'm so high you almost now comply

Alice, getting Alicer

Am I ugly or divine?

The baby or the swine?

Did this come from my own doing

Well that's just by design

[Pre-Chorus]

But let's keep the routine

They say, let's keep it sweet

A life of monotony keeps us petite

A girl has no business playing with our fears

Trees flex in case it is

Soon we'll be drowning in

A giant's tears

[Chorus]

When you're small you want to grow up (you want to grow up)

And when you're big, you want to shrink down (you want to shrink down)

When you're small you want to grow up (you want to grow up)

I'm getting big, and bigger now (big and bigger now)

When you're small you want to grow up (you want to grow up)

And when you're big, you want to shrink down (you want to shrink down)

When you're small you want to grow up (you want to grow up)

I'm getting big, and bigger now
