I Grew up |
I never did what I was told |
I liked to have my way |
I’d never come when I was called |
That was my golden rule |
Let me tell you what became of me |
I grew up to be a mule |
--- Instrumental --- |
When I was only very young |
I used to tell such tales |
I never liked to wash my face |
I’d even bite my nails |
I’d never want to go to bed |
Now kids you please note |
Let me tell you what became of me |
I grew up to be a goat. |
(He grew up to be a goat.) |
When I was still a little boy |
I thought I knew it all |
I never listened to my folks |
Now pride must have a fall |
I really thought I was so smart |
As crafty as a fox |
Let me tell you what became of me |
I grew up to be (an ox.) |
--- Instrumental --- |
Now if you would escape my fate |
And never be a mule |
If you don?? |
t want to be like me |
An ox, a goat, or a fool |
Remember what I told to you |
And heed all my advice |
Let me tell you what’ll become of you |
You’ll grow up to be, quit nice… |
