Some day you'll be looking through a magic window And you'll see yourself sail off with Captain Kidd What adventures you'll enjoy And you'll be the only boy To discover where the treasure chest was hid And if I remember that's what I once did I remember looking through a magic window And I saw myself teach Robin Hood to aim Then what mischief I got in Meetin' Huckleberry Finn And I saw it through that magic window frame You can bet your bottom dream you'll do the same With your nose against the glass And your elbows on the sill You'll be a partner of Buffalo Bill Or help solve a case with Sherlock Holmes Or you'll get to go with Gulliver each time he roams Grown-ups don't know where to find that magic window But it's any window little boys look through There's so much for you to see So don't ever say to me That you've got a lot of growing up to do Cause I wish that I were growing down to you With your elbows on the sill And your nose against the pane You'll toss the pumpkin at Ichabod Crane You're one guy Paul Bunyan couldn't lick You're the guard that wailed the daylights out of Moby Dick Grown-ups don't know where to find that magic window But it's any window little boys look through There's so much for you to see So don't ever say to me That you've got a lot of growing up to do Cause I wish that I were growing down to you
