All right boys, are you ready for today’s lesson?
Yes, Peter!
Then listen to your teacher. Repeat after me...
I won’t grow up. (I won’t grow up.)
I don’t wanna go to school. (I don’t wanna go to school.)
Just to learn to be a parrot (Just to learn to be a parrot)
And recite a silly rule (and recite a silly rule).
If growing up means it would be beneath my dignity to climb a tree
I’ll never grow up, never grow up, never grow u-p
Not me. (Not I.)
Not me. (Not me.)
I won’t grow up (I won’t grow up)
I don’t wanna wear a tie (I don’t wanna wear a tie)
Or a serious expression
Or a serious expression
In the middle of July! In the middle of July!
And if it means I must prepare
To shoulder burdens with a worried air...
I’ll never grow up, never grow up, never grow u-p
Not me! Not I.
Not me. So there!
Never gonna be a man... I won’t!
Like to see somebody try...
And make me!
Anyone who wants to try...
And make me
Turn into a man.
Catch me if you can!
I won’t grow up (I won’t grow up)
I will never even try (I will never even try)
I will do what Peter tells me (I will do what Peter tells me)
And I’ll never ask him why! (And I’ll never ask him why!)
We won’t grow up! (We won’t grow up!)
We will never grow a day! (We will never grow a day!)
And if someone tries to make us (And if someone tries to make us)
We will simply run away! (We will simply run away!)
I won’t grow up. (I won’t grow up.)
No, I promise that I won’t (No, I promise that I won’t)
I will stay a boy forever (I will stay a boy forever)
And be banished if I don’t. (And be banished if I don’t.)
And Neverland will always be
The home of youth and joy and liberty!
I’ll never grow up, never grow up, never grow u-p
Not me, not me, not me, not me, not me... No, sir!
