When I was a baby,
I could crawl and cry.
I could think about cheese that had got blasted,
Oh, how I wish it had lasted!
That was what I could and this is what I can.
I can study the alphabet,
It’s very hard work!
I can play Hide and Seek all day,
In the shadows I’ll lurk.
That was what I can and this is what I could.
When I was a kid,
I could study the ABC’s and play all day.
It was such fun,
Oh, How I bathed in the sun!
That was what I could and this is what I can.
I can study and study and study,
I can write and write and write.
Atleast I have a little pup
Though, Oh, How I wish I was all grown up!
That was what I can and this is what I could.
I was a teen,
I could study and study,and write and write.
Oh,how was I so clean!
Sure, I was just a little bit green.
That was all what I could and this is who I am.
I’m a grown-up now,
Its a big, fat ,torture!
I’ve got a whole mountain of pressure,
And that’s just for small measure!
How I wish I was anything else!
When will people learn that,
Its no fun being a grown-up.
Though , I still hold my memories near.
That is what I could and isn’t it all so queer?
