When I Grow Uphttps://soundcloud.com/peterf1957/when-i-grow-upNow for something a bit different a whimsical number for those baby boomers among us who haven't quite decided what to do when they grow up. Leon - Lyrics & Vocal Me - Backing vocal and very brief ukulele outro. RealTracks in song: 2126:Bass, Acoustic, Jazz Half,Half Sw 110 RealTracks in song: ~1142:Ukulele, Strumming FolkSwing Sw 110 RealTracks in song: ~1792:Tuba, DixielandMedium Sw 110 RealTracks in song: 439:Trombone, Older Sw 140 RealTracks in song: 1159:Organ, B3, Rhythm ReggaeSlow Sw 075 RealDrums in Song: TambourinePopSw: a: Tambourine b: TambourinePopSw When I grow upCould have been a painter Didn’t want it bad enough Could have been an actor If my face wasn’t quite so rough Could have been a surgeon Can’t stand the sight of blood Perhaps a taxidermist No, I don’t believe I would I’m still trying to decide
What I’ll be when I grow up
I’m still trying to decide
What I’ll be when I grow upCould have been a writer But I couldn’t find the words Or an ornithologist If it wasn’t for the birds Could have been a fighter But I wouldn’t hurt a fly Could have been a pilot But I don’t like to get too high I’m still trying to decide
What I’ll be when I grow up
I’m still trying to decide
What I’ll be when I grow upCould have been a mountain climber But I’ve got no head for heights Could have been a dancer Don’t look so good in tights Could have been a baker And designed a brand new biscuit Could have been a gambler But I didn’t want to risk it I’m still trying to decide
What I’ll be when I grow up
I’m still trying to decide
What I’ll be when I grow up
Yes, I’m still trying to decide
What I’ll be when I grow up
I’m still trying to decide
What I’ll be when I grow up

Very well done!

Peter a very cool song. I'm still trying to grow up but I don't think that I will ever reach that point. Great idea, lyrics, vocals, mix and overall production. I enjoyed listening.

Peter (and Leon),
Clever! Leon's vocal on this is nice - mixed well. (It kept reminding me of a Bob Dylan song, but I could never put my finger on it...)
The choice of instruments on this is brilliant! Great (unusual) combination. You could make a whole career on that sound (the way Leon Redbone did with his sound). I liked that outro...
Good mix! A great listen.

Hi Peter,
I enjoyed the clever lyrics a lot. Great vocals by
Leon. A very interesting arrangement.
Unfortunately your ukulele is out of tune.
Enjoyed listening though.

Hmmmm...I was born in the first week of the first month of the
first year of the baby boom (1946) and I'm still not sure. My younger
better half Janice says "don't grow up -- it's a trap!"
This write is jam packed with clever lines and great rhymes and
the vocals are perfect for the feel. And, the arrangement and
mix is in the pocket. Sounds really great on our KRK's.
Fun!!!

Floyd You are too kind. I remember some years ago Leon (unrelated to Mr Redbone) telling me to listen to Leon Redbone. As far as the instrument choices I built the song around the ukulele but really liked the reggae organ when it was added.
