I wanna be a vampire slayer
Vampires and monsters won’t have a prayer
Against the forces of evil I’ll defend
I stake Edward… The end.
I wanna be a warrior princess
Save my best friend weekly from death
Back flipping, fire spitting, cut of the glow of blood to your brain
My many skills will save the day again
I wanna go into outer space
Introduce life “out there” to the human race
By space ship or Stargate out amongst the stars
I’ll be greater than Kirk and Picard

When I grow up that’s how it’s gonna be
Gonna be all the things I wanna be
You just wait and see
Turning fantasy into reality

I wanna be a Jedi knight
Against the Sith and Empire I’ll fight
Team up with a smuggler and a wookie
Blow up a death star then party
I wanna be a powerful witch
With a finger flick, incantation, nose twitch
I save the world from another demon disaster
Will be known as the fifth sister forever after
I wanna fight crime in a mask and cape
For villains and henchmen there will be no escape
Fly around; wear my underwear on the outside
BAM! POM! I win every fight

Everyday my mother tells me
I can be anything I want to be
Now I’m working out the strategy
Turning fantasy into reality

Jump around in pyjamas like a ninja
Wave a stick around like a pirate in a swashbuckler
Swing a broomstick like I’m the battling bard
Climbing the walls like Spider-man is always hard
Try to make my belt buckle morph me into a Power Ranger
Pretend to have asthma like Darth Vader
Try to move things with my mind like Jean Grey
Sporting latex and a cape every single day

When I grow up no 9 to 5 for me
All the heroics will keep me busy
Living out my dreams daily
Turning fantasy into reality
