INTRO
verse 1
When I m five
I will wash my face and hands all by myself
When I m five
I will chew and spit tobacco like my grandfather jones
cause I m only four and five is far away
verse 2
When I m five
I will read the magazines in mummy s drawer
When I m five
I will walk behind the soldiers in the may day parade
cause I m only four and grown-ups walk too fast
BRIDGE
Yesterday was horrid day, cause Raymond kicked my shin
And mummy says if I am good, she ll let me go to school in august
Daddy shouted loud at mummy and I dropped my toast at breakfast
And I laughed when bonzo licked my face, because it tickled
I wonder why my daddy cries and how I wish that I was nearly five
verse 3
When I m five
I will catch a butterfly and eat it and I won t be sick
When I m five
I will jump in puddles, laugh in church and marry my mum
And I ll let my daddy do the washing-up
BRIDGE
If I close one eye, the people on that side can t see me
I get headaches in the morning and I rode on freddie s triclycle
And everywhere was funny, when I ran down to the sweetshop
Then I fell and bleeded-up my knee and everybody soppied me
I saw a photograph of jesus and I asked him if he d make me five
I saw a photograph of jesus and I asked him if he d make me five
OUTRO
When I m five
When I m five
When I m oah
