I Won’t Grow Up Lyrics by Cathy Rigby

Peter Pan (Original Cast Soundtrack)

2000

[Peter Pan, spoken]
Are you ready for today's lesson?
[Lost Boys, spoken]
Yes sir!
[Peter Pan, spoken]
Then listen to your father
And repeat after me
(sung) I won't grow up
[Lost Boys]
I won't grow up
[Peter Pan]
I don't wanna go to school
[Lost Boys]
I don't wanna go to school
[Peter Pan]
Just to learn to be a parrot
[Lost Boys]
Just to learn to be a parrot
[Peter Pan]
And recite a silly rule
[Lost Boys]
And recite a silly rule
[Peter Pan]
If growing up means it would be
Beneath my dignity to climb a tree
[All]
I'll never grow up
Never grow up
Never grow up
[Peter Pan]
Not me
[John]
Not I
[Peter Pan]
Not me
[Lost Boys]
Not me
[Peter Pan]
I won't grow up
[Lost Boys]
I won't grow up
[Peter Pan]
I don't wanna wear a tie
[Lost Boys]
I don't wanna wear a tie
[Peter Pan]
Or a serious expression
[Lost Boys]
Or a serious expression
[Peter Pan]
In the middle of July
[Lost Boys]
In the middle of July
[Peter Pan]
And if it means I must prepare
The shoulder burdens with a worried air
[All]
I'll never grow up
Never grow up
Never grow up
[Peter Pan]
Not me
[John]
Not I
[Lost Boys]
Not me
[Peter Pan]
So there
Never gonna be a man
[Lost Boys]
I won't
[Peter Pan]
I'd like to see somebody try
[Lost Boys]
And make me
[Peter Pan]
Anyone who wants a try and make me turn into a man
Catch me if you can!
[Lost Boy]
I won't grow up
[Lost Boys]
I won't grow up
[Lost Boy]
I will never even try
[Lost Boys]
I will never even try
[Lost Boy]
I will do what Peter tells me
[Lost Boys]
I will do what Peter tells me
[Peter Pan]
And I'll never ask him why
[Lost Boys]
And I'll never ask him why
[Peter Pan & Michael]
We won't grow up
[Lost Boys]
We won't grow up
[Peter Pan & Michael]
We will never grow a day
[Lost Boys]
We will never grow a day
[Peter Pan & Michael]
And if someone tries to make us
[Lost Boys]
And if someone tries to make us
[Peter Pan & Michael]
We will simply run away
[Lost Boys]
We will simply run away
[Slightly]
I won't grow up
[Lost Boys]
I won't grow up
[Slightly]
No, I promise that I won't
[Lost Boys]
No, I promise that I won't
[Slightly]
I will stay a boy forever
[Lost Boys]
I will stay a boy forever
[Peter Pan]
And be banished if I don't
[Lost Boys]
And be banished if I don't
[All]
And Neverland will always be
The home of youth and joy and liberty
[Peter Pan]
I'll--
[All]
Never grow up
Never grow up
Never grow up
[Lost Boys]
Not me
Not me
Not I
I won't
[Peter Pan]
No sir
[All]
Not me
