I Won't Grow Up

[PETER PAN] Are you ready for today's lesson?

[ALL]Yes, Peter!

[PETER PAN] Listen to your teacher. Repeat after me:
[PETER PAN] I won't grow up,
[ALL](I won't grow up)
[PETER PAN] I don't want to go to school.
[ALL](I don't want to go to school)
[PETER PAN] Just to learn to be a parrot,
[ALL](Just to learn to be a parrot)
[PETER PAN] And recite a silly rule.
[ALL](And recite a silly rule)
[PETER PAN] If growing up means
It would be beneath my dignity to climb a tree,
I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up
Not me!
Not I,
Not me!
Not me!

[PETER PAN] I won't grow up,
[ALL](I won't grow up)
[PETER PAN] I don't want to wear a tie.
[ALL](I don't want to wear a tie)
[PETER PAN] And a serious expression
[ALL](And a serious expression)
[PETER PAN] In the middle of July.
[ALL](In the middle of July)
[PETER PAN] And if it means I must prepare
To shoulder burdens with a worried air,
[PETER PAN] I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up
Not me,
Not I,
Not me!
So there!

[PETER PAN] 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.

[PETER PAN] I won't grow up.
Not a penny will I pinch.
I will never grow a mustache,
Or a fraction of an inch.
'Cause growing up is awfuller
Than all the awful things that ever were.
I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up,
No sir,
Not I,
Not me,
So there!

[PETER PAN] I won't grow up!
[ALL](I won't grow up)
[PETER PAN] I will never even try
[ALL](I will never even try)
[PETER PAN] I will do what Peter tells me
[ALL](I will do what Peter tells me)
[PETER PAN] And I'll never ask him why
[ALL](And I'll never ask him why)

[PETER PAN] We won't grow up!
[ALL](We won't grow up)
[PETER PAN] We will never grow a day
[ALL](We will never grow a day)
[PETER PAN] And if someone tries to make it
[ALL](And if someone tries to make it)
[PETER PAN] We will simply run away
[ALL](We will simply run away)

[PETER PAN] I won't grow up!
[ALL](I won't grow up)
[PETER PAN] No, I promise that I won't
[ALL](No, I promise that I won't)
[PETER PAN] I will stay a boy forever
[ALL](I will stay a boy forever)
[PETER PAN] And be banished if I don't!
[ALL](And be banished if I don't)

[PETER PAN] And Never Land will always be
The home of beauty and joy
And neverty
I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up
Not me!
Not me!
Not me!
Not me!
No sir!
Not me!
