lyrics

IF I DON”T GET MY WAY

I don’t wanna go outside, you can’t make me do that
I can’t find my other mitten and the dog just ate my hat
I have to go to the bathroom, I don’t wanna wear these socks
I just wanna stay here, pass the time away here
Playing in the cardboard box

And if I
Don’t get my way
If you don’t let me stay
I’ll tell you what I’m gonna do
Gonna scream like a seagull and bark like a beagle
And pour lemonade in my shoe

Gonna slam me a door, gonna lie on the floor
Gonna hold my breath til I’m blue
Gonna roar like a baby
gorilla then maybe I’ll do something else when I’m through

I didn’t wanna do nothin, not a single thing at all
‘Cept take my older sister’s crayons
And colour on the kitchen wall
I didn’t wanna go nowhere and nobody seemed to care
I didn’t wanna eat my dinner so I’ll put it in my grampa’s hair

Now if I
Don’t get my way
If you don’t let me stay
I’ll tell you what I’m gonna do
Gonna scream like a seagull and bark like a beagle
And pour lemonade in my shoe

Gonna slam me a door, gonna lie on the floor
Gonna hold my breath til I’m blue
Gonna roar like a baby
gorilla then maybe I’ll do something else when I’m through

I don’t wanna go to bed you can’t pull that on me
The sun’s still out, I’m not tired and I wanna watch TV
I wanna story, I want a drink, I wanna be with the big folks too
I wanna hug now, wrestle on the rug now
I wanna kiss from you

And if I
Don’t get my way
If you don’t let me stay
I’ll tell you what I’m gonna do
Gonna scream like a seagull and bark like a beagle
And pour lemonade in my shoe
Gonna slam me a door, gonna lie on the floor
Gonna hold my breath til I’m blue
Gonna roar like a baby
gorilla then maybe I’ll do something else when I’m through
