David Bowie - When I'm Five Lyrics
When Im fiveI will wash my face me hands all by myselfWhen Im fiveI will chew and spit tabacco like my grandfather jonescause Im only four and five is far awayWhen Im fiveI will read the magazines in mummys drawerWhen Im fiveI will walk behind the soldiers in the may day paradecause Im only four and grown-ups walk too fastYesterday was horrid day, cause raymond kicked my shinAnd mummy says if I am good, shell let me go to school in augustDaddy shouted loud at mummy and I dropped my toast at breakfastAnd I laughed when bonzo licked my face, because it tickledI wonder why my daddy cries and how I wish that I was nearly fiveWhen Im fiveI will catch a butterfly and eat it and I wont be sickWhen Im fiveI will jump in puddles, laugh in church and marry my mumAnd Ill let my daddy do the washing-upIf I close one eye, the people on that side cant see meI get headaches in the morning and I rode on freddies tricycleAnd everywhere was funny, when I ran down to the sweetshopThen I fell and bleeded-up my knee and everybody soppied meI saw a photograph of jesus and I asked him if hed make me fiveI saw a photograph of jesus and I asked him if hed make me fiveWhen Im fiveWhen Im fiveWhen Im oah
