Nashville Kids' Sound - When I Grow Up I Want To Be A Chemist Lyrics

When I grow up I want to be something very interesting.
The job I’ll do will help a lot of people, and I’ll like the work that I do.
Each day will be adventurous, and I’ll strive to learn a lot.
Then I’ll share what I know and my knowledge will grow.
It’s the perfect, perfect job!
I ask so many questions that my parents think I should become a chemist someday, like,
“Why does my bicycle rust when I leave it outside in the rain?” or
“What makes the powder and water turn into gelatin when my mom puts it in the refrigerator?”
I like doing experiments at school, too.
I like to solve problems and discover ways to help people, so I think I would like to develop new medicines to help people who are sick.
Yes, becoming a chemist would be the right occupation for me!

Now science is important, so I’ll study hard when learning about biology.
Experiments in chemistry will help me learn to develop good hypotheses.
Then I’ll read and I’ll read and I’ll read some more, and I’ll share just what I learn, ‘cause when I grow up I want to be something very interesting.

When I grow up I want to be something very interesting.
The job I’ll do will help a lot of people, and I’ll like the work that I do.
Each day will be adventurous, and I’ll strive to learn a lot.
Then I’ll share what I know and my knowledge will grow.
It’s the perfect, perfect job!

Yes, I’ll share what I know and my knowledge will grow.
It’s the perfect, perfect job!
The perfect, perfect job!
