When you gonna grow up
Momma always said
Are you gonna walk around with a silly grin
And a bubble on your headA spaceship landed by the mall
There was a big parade, everybody got laid
And they burned all the books and the Chevrolets
They grow so fast they never crawlIf you get tired of satellite flyers
And fame has let you down
Under the wire and over the moon
I'm aroundWhen you gonna grow up
Momma always said
But I just wanna walk around with a dollar bill
And a coat that never shedsA spaceship landed on the water
It was a holiday for the underpaid
Everybody got a haircut and lemonade
And they smiled just like it was their fatherPlay me a groove one for my radio one
For my love that came and went
So many stories, hey man, I'm sorry
Joe, this is just a song to pay the rentWhen you gonna grow up
