I’d like to be a soldier and
I’d march and stand up straight.
I’d like to be a cook and I’d put
slugs on people’s plates. I want to be a pilot and I’d
fly planes fast as light.
I want to be an astronaut:
drive round the moon at night. I’d rather be a policeman and
I’d throw thieves into jail.
I’d rather be a postman and
deliver all the mail. I think I’d be a doctor and
I’d bandage up the sick.
I think I’d be a builder and
drive diggers very quick. Though when I’m feeling tired or when
I fall and hurt my knee
I’d always run straight home to mum:
I’d rather be a “me”
