Song language: English
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… |
