When I Grow Up
(The Jessica Rabbit Song)
Copyright 2001 by Mary Crowell
What can I say? I want to be Jessica Rabbit when I grow up

VERSE
When I grow up
I wanna be
The girl in a sequined gown
With a bunny rabbit married to me.

VERSE
I know you think
I’m just a loon,
But she’s got great sex appeal --
That hair, those gams, that toon.

CHORUS
She’s not bad; they just draw her that way
Posing and pouting her lips.
She’s peeking out from under her Veronica Lake,
Gloved hands resting on hips.

VERSE
She loves her spouse,
Her bunny half.
He loves her a thousand ways,
But his favorite one is making her laugh.

VERSE
She’ll use rough means
To save her man.
When he heads into danger,
She whacks him in the brain with a pan.

CHORUS

VERSE
The private Dick
Thought she was vile,
But 'though he caught her playing patty cake
He couldn’t help but admire her style.

VERSE
Her heart is gold
(Looks like a jade.)
Even then if you asked around,
Roger Rabbit has got it made.

CHORUS

VERSE
When I grow up
I wanna be
The girl in a sequined gown
With a bunny rabbit married to me.
