I Won't Grow Up

"I won't Grow Up,
I don't wanna go to school
Just to learn to be a parrot
And recite a silly rule.

"If growing up would mean
That it'd be beneath my dignity to climb a tree,
I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up...
Not me.

"I won't grow up,
I don't wanna wear a tie
Or a serious expression
In the middle of July.

And if means I must prepare
To shoulder burden with a worried aire,
I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up...
Not me!"

If you couldn't tell, this drawing was inspired by my seeing the newest Peter Pan movie in the theaters. Now, I've always loved the old Mary Martin version, but this newest incarnation really spoke to me, got me to remember how much I'd always loved it.
