Who Wants to be a Boy

© Edna Walling Collection, La Trobe Picture Collection, State Library of Victoria

 

Who wants to be a boy

Who wants to be a boy
Who wants to hold their toys
And watch the world
Try to take them all away

Who wants to be a girl
Who wants to have a curl inside their mind
And say I'm not the one
You thought you'd find

Everytime
Everytime

Who wants to be a Dad
Who wants to go quite mad
Each time a young woman
Runs across the clouds in his mind

Who wants to be a Mum
Who wants to risk their bum
Becoming less attractive
As the years roll on

The years roll on
The years roll on

Who wants to be a Gran
Who wants to lose their man
And be left alone
With no-one there to care

Who wants to be a Gramp
Looking like a tramp
With that hunted look of fate
Lodged in your eye

In your eye
In your eye

Who wants to be a boy
Who wants to hold their toys
And watch the world
Try to take them all away
