Cast Of 'Peter Pan The British Musical' — What Happens When You're Grown Up lyrics

Lyrics

What happens when you’re grown up
What happens when you’re tall
Shadows can no longer be so long
And your childhood things are too small
Wendy, I’m sure adult life is a bull
Becoming thirteen is no joy
So instead of school and then studying law
I decided to stay as a boy
But Peter, you can’t just stay as a boy all your life
Just think how exciting it’d be to be a man and a father
Peter, wouldn’t you like to be married (no)
Wendy I’m sure adult life is a bull
Becoming thirteen is no joy
So instead of school and then studying law
I decided to stay as a boy
I ran away from home
The day that I was born and I went to Kensington Gardens
I didn’t care to wash my face, speaking when I’m spoken to, for me there is no
begging of bardens
Wendy you must understand your parents life is hard
Dressed up fine and looking grand it’s only a passade
Too much responsibility involved in being a man
There’s one little boy who won’t grow up, that’s Peter Pan
Wendy you must understand your parents life is hard
Dressed up fine and looking grand it’s only a passade
Too much responsibility involved in being a man
There’s one little boy who won’t grow up
One little boy who can’t grow up
One little boy who won’t grow up, that’s Peter Pan
