lyrics

Stella got a part in the play
Her teacher gave her a letter
She brought it home to her mom that day
and she said, "Mom! Mom! What does it say?"

It says you're gonna be a star
No matter who you are
Let's get you some ice cream
In daddy's magic car

Jimmy thought that there were monsters under his bed
So he went to tell his parents
"Monsters! Monsters!," he said.
So his dad went in, came out, and told him,
"Don't worry son, I killed them! They're dead!"

Now Jimmy wants to be a killer
and fight off all the monsters
Jimmy wants to be a hero
Or maybe just a doctor

What's it like to be curious and free?
Oh no; I can't remember
My youth is leaving me...

But I could be good at following
Like Hariet the Spy
Let's re-learn how to read
Oh, could you teach us to tell time?

I miss eating play-doh
and pretending that I'm super
I miss holding hands
and building castles in the sand

What's it like to be curious and free?
Oh no; I can't remember
My youth is leaving me...

I miss playing power rangers
and fighting about who is who
Learning not to speak to strangers
and don't feed your friends the glue

What's it like to be curious and free?
Oh no; I can't remember
My youth is leaving me...
but let's not get all sentimental
Like the people on Full House
yeah, this grown up stuff is mental
but maybe that's what life's about
but I could be good at staying young
I could be good at staying young
I could be good at staying young,
like Bart and Lisa Simpson.
