I Grew Up Lyrics

I never did what I was told
I liked to have my way.
I£§d never come when I was called
That was my golden rule
Let me tell you what became of me
I grew up to be a mule.
--- Instrumental ---
When I was only very young
I used to tell such tales
I never liked to wash my face
I£§d even b*** my nails.
I£§d never want to go to bed
Now kids you please note
Let me tell you what became of me
I grew up to be a goat. (He grew up to be a goat.)
When I was still a little boy
I thought I knew it all
I never listened to my folks
Now pride must have a fall.
I really thought I was so smart
As crafty as a fox
Let me tell you what became of me
I grew up to be (an ox.)
--- Instrumental ---
Now if you would escape my fate
And never be a mule
If you don£§t want to be like me
An ox, a goat, or a fool.
Remember what I told to you
And heed all my advice
Let me tell you what£§ll become of you
You£§ll grow up to be, quit nice...
