When You’re Big Lyrics by Amanda McBroom, Michele Brourman

The Songs from The Land Before Time

1997

[Intro]
The Apatosaurus was also known as the Brontosaurus
Littlefoot was a baby Apatosaurus
Littlefoot is very nice
But some dinosaurs turned into bullies when they got big
Just 'cause you're big doesn't mean you're smarter or better
Big bullies are not very nice
[Verse 1]
When you're big, you can push all the little ones around
They're lookin' up while you are looking down
You can snap a tree in two like it was just a twig
Things are better when you're big
[Verse 2]
When you're big, you can do anything you wanna do (Ah-ooh)
All the rules that grown-ups make, they don't apply to you (Not to you)
You can splash in all the puddles, gulp and slurp and swig (Oh-ah)
The world is wetter when you're big (Glug, glug, glug)
[Verse 3]
You can snort (You can snort), you can growl (You can growl)
You can stomp (You can stomp), you can howl (You can howl)
You can bonk someone smaller on the head (On the head)
You can take what you want, play all day in the swamp
And you never, ever have to go to bed
[Verse 4]
When you're big, you can step (Oh-ah) on little people's toes (Oh-ah)
Munch on their lunch (Lunch) and bop them in the nose (Oh, yeah)
Three-horns and longnecks, and duck feet, too (Duck feet, too)
They all have to do anything you want them to (You want them to)
And if they don't, you can plop them in the goo
[Outro]
Don't you forget, grr, what you want, you get, grr
Things are better when you're big (Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, ooh)
When you're big (Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, ooh)
When you're big (Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, ooh)
When you're big
