A        A
(whistle)


[Verse 1]
A
  Well cereal's his favorite food group
G#dim                    
  Doin’ the Heisman with a box of Fruit Loops
A
Spoon hangin' off his nose just cuz he can
E                             A
  Bedhead like Edward Scissorhands

Damn proud of that belly button
G#dim 
   Ain’t suckin' it in for nothin’
F#m                    
  4 years old looks like fun to me
E     
  When I grow up I wanna be

[Chorus]
 A
like Beckett
                  C#m
Eatin' breakfast butt naked
                    F#m
Ain’t even tryin’ to be famous
                         D        E
Just wonderin' where his airplane is
                   A
Don’t know if he’s rich or poor
                         C#m        
Says it’s cool that the girl next door
                F#m
Has skin like chocolate
            D               E
When I grow up, when I grow up

[Post-Chorus]
           A                                      C#m 
I wanna be like Beckett (da da da da da da da da-da) 
            F#m                        D  E
You get it, B (da da da da da da da da-da) 

[Verse 2]
A
  Shakes it when there ain’t no music
G#dim 
  Takes advantage of the bathtub acoustics
F#m
Little Foo Fighter with a shampoo mohawk
D          E
   Owns it with no alcohol
A
   Don’t know the minute hand from the hour
G#dim 
I see a weed, he sees a flower
F#m
   Prays like he’s on the phone with Jesus
E        
  When I grow up I wanna be 

[Chorus]
     A    
just like Beckett
                   C#m
Eatin' breakfast butt naked
                      F#m
Ain’t even tryin’ to be famous
                        D         E
Just wonderin' where is airplane is
                    A
Don’t know if he’s rich or poor
                        C#m
Says it’s cool that the boy next door
             D              E
Has two dads and three pets
             D              A
When I grow up, when I grow up

[Bridge]
           A                                      C#m

                     F#m                        D  E
I wanna be just like you (da da da da da da da da-da) 
         A                       C#m 
c'mon B (da da da da da da da da-da)  he likes the fat fruit loops
F#m                                       D                E
(da da da da da da da da-da)  When I grow up, when I grow up

[Chorus]

Just wonderin' where is airplane is
                    A
Don’t know if he’s rich or poor

Says it’s cool that the girl next door
                  F#m
Has two dads and three pets
             D          A
When I grow up, when I grow up

[Outro]
           A                                      C#m
