Intro
Verse 1
Been Staying Out Too Late
Well, The Mornings Ain't For Me
Daylight Never Brings Much Company
With The Ladies Of The Night I Play A Game Of Chance
Losing Quarters To The Jukebox
Buyin' Songs To Watch Them Dance
Chorus
When I Grow Up, I'm Gonna Settle Down
Cause Chasing Midnight Ladies, Ain't The Funnest Game Around
Oh They Disappear Like Dreams
I Wake Up, Sleeping In My Jeans
I'm Lonesome Tonight, But I've Got Plans (Yes, He's Got Plans)
Verse 2
Could Be I'll Pan For Gold
Write A Novel Or Join A Band
I Could Sell Produce From A Roadside Stand
Sturdy Wife To Share My Joy, A Pair Of Healthy Strapping Boys
They'll Lend A Helpin' Hand
We'll Make A Fortune Off The Land
Chorus
When I Grow Up, I'm Gonna Settle Down.
Chew Honeycomb And Drive A Tractor, Grow Things In The Ground.
Ah, The Gleam That's In My Eye
Is Just Tomorrow's Enterprise
I May Be Broke Tonight, But I Got Plans (Yes, He's Got Plans)
Instrumental Break
(Yes, He's Got Plans)
Verse 3
All The Proceeds To The Bank
And I'll Soon Have Lots Of Dough
I'll Buy Me A Villa Down In Mexico
While The Mariachis Play, I'll Go Fishing Every Day
I'll Cast A Net So Gayly On Some Sunny Latin Bay
Chorus
When I Grow Up, I'm Gonna Settle Down
I'll Take A Course In Business At The Night School Here In Town
But That Will Have To Wait
Cause Tonight I've Got A Date
We'll Have A Drink And Keep On Talking About My Plans (Yes, He's Got Plans)
