I Won’t Grow Up

[Peter Pan, spoken]
Are you ready for today's lesson?

[Lost Boys, spoken]
Yes sir!

[Peter Pan, spoken]
Then listen to your father
And repeat after me
(sung) I won't grow up

[Lost Boys]
I won't grow up

[Peter Pan]
I don't wanna go to school

[Lost Boys]
I don't wanna go to school

[Peter Pan]
Just to learn to be a parrot

[Lost Boys]
Just to learn to be a parrot

[Peter Pan]
And recite a silly rule

[Lost Boys]
And recite a silly rule

[Peter Pan]
If growing up means it would be
Beneath my dignity to climb a tree

[All]
I'll never grow up
Never grow up
Never grow up

[Peter Pan]
Not me

[John]
Not I

[Peter Pan]
Not me

[Lost Boys]
Not me

[Peter Pan]
I won't grow up

[Lost Boys]
I won't grow up

[Peter Pan]
I don't wanna wear a tie

[Lost Boys]
I don't wanna wear a tie

[Peter Pan]
Or a serious expression

[Lost Boys]
Or a serious expression

[Peter Pan]
In the middle of July

[Lost Boys]
In the middle of July

[Peter Pan]
And if it means I must prepare
The shoulder burdens with a worried air

[All]
I'll never grow up
Never grow up
Never grow up

[Peter Pan]
Not me

[John]
Not I

[Lost Boys]
Not me

[Peter Pan]
So there
Never gonna be a man

[Lost Boys]
I won't

[Peter Pan]
I'd like to see somebody try

[Lost Boys]
And make me

[Peter Pan]
Anyone who wants a try and make me turn into a man
Catch me if you can!

[Lost Boy]
I won't grow up

[Lost Boys]
I won't grow up

[Lost Boy]
I will never even try

[Lost Boys]
I will never even try

[Lost Boy]
I will do what Peter tells me

[Lost Boys]
I will do what Peter tells me

[Peter Pan]
And I'll never ask him why

[Lost Boys]
And I'll never ask him why

[Peter Pan & Michael]
We won't grow up

[Lost Boys]
We won't grow up

[Peter Pan & Michael]
We will never grow a day

[Lost Boys]
We will never grow a day

[Peter Pan & Michael]
And if someone tries to make us

[Lost Boys]
And if someone tries to make us

[Peter Pan & Michael]
We will simply run away

[Lost Boys]
We will simply run away

[Slightly]
I won't grow up

[Lost Boys]
I won't grow up

[Slightly]
No, I promise that I won't

[Lost Boys]
No, I promise that I won't

[Slightly]
I will stay a boy forever

[Lost Boys]
I will stay a boy forever

[Peter Pan]
And be banished if I don't

[Lost Boys]
And be banished if I don't

[All]
And Neverland will always be
The home of youth and joy and liberty

[Peter Pan]
I'll--

[All]
Never grow up
Never grow up
Never grow up

[Lost Boys]
Not me
Not me
Not I
I won't

[Peter Pan]
No sir

[All]
Not me
