What's the use in choppin' wood

Or tryin' to be like Robin Hood

Or doin' other things that you shou-ou-ou-ould

It may not be a lot of fun

But try and get your homework done

For soon you'll grow up and you'll know

How I told you to clean your room and make your bed

Don't be such a sleepy head

Remember all the things that mama sai-ai-ai-aid

Your gonna fall in love one day

Find someone and move away

Then you'll have kids of your own

And you'll tell them



It's up to you, you can be all that you wanna be (wanna be-ee)

Just see it through, for it will happen like you want it too-oo



Now you know, I'm really glad

I listened to my mum and dad

But still I took the chances that I ha-a-a-ad

But someday when I'm old and grey

Now my dreams have gone away

And know that I smile, and it's good to remember



It's up to you, you can be all that you wanna be (wanna be-ee)

Just see it throu-ou-ou-ough

For it will happen like you want it to-oo-oo-oo

(Want it to, want it to) woh-oh-oh-oh

It's up to you, you can be all that you wanna be (wanna be-ee)

Just see it throu-ou-ou-ough

For it will happen like you want it to-oo

(Want it to, want it to)

It's up to you, you can be all that you wanna be (wanna be-ee)

Just see it throu-ou-ou-ough [fade]
