| When I Get Big I think maybe I'll plant trees When I get big. I think maybe I'll have a garden And it will be full of flowers and it will be full of vegetables too. Maybe I'll even live in the woods and have a house made out of wood. I'll be as happy as a bird. Maybe. And maybe I'll even explore. When I get big. JK '75 |
