Nashville Kids' Sound - When I Grow Up I Want To Be An Astronaut

When I grow up, I want to be something very interesting.
The job I’ll do will help a lot of people, and I’ll like the work that I do.
Each day will be adventurous, and I’ll strive to learn a lot.
Then I’ll share what I know and my knowledge will grow.

It’s the perfect, perfect job!
Space travel has always been fascinating to me, so when I
grow up I want to be an astronaut. I know I’ll need to study
hard in school, be in good health, and work well with others. I
either want to be a pilot astronaut or a mission specialist. If I’m
a pilot astronaut, I will first have to become a jet pilot. If I
choose to become a mission specialist, I will learn to do space
walks, satellite launches and repairs, and experiments in space.
Now, science is important, so I’ll study hard
when learning about biology.
Experiments in chemistry will help me learn
to develop good hypotheses.
Then I’ll read and I’ll read and I’ll read some more,
and I’ll share just what I learn,
‘cause when I grow up I want to be something very interesting.

When I grow up, I want to be something very interesting.
The job I’ll do will help a lot of people, and I’ll like the work that I do.
Each day will be adventurous, and I’ll strive to learn a lot.
Then I’ll share what I know and my knowledge will grow.

Yes, I’ll share what I know and my knowledge will grow.
It’s the perfect, perfect job!
The perfect, perfect job!
