Lyrics

I want to be a cowboy when I grow up
I want to be a cowboy when I’m taller
I want to be a cowboy with my sidekick by my side
Get me a horse named Lefty and ride, ride, ride


I want to be an astronaut when I grow up
I want to be an astronaut when I’m smarter
I want to be an astronaut, but be home in time for dinner every night
Then I’ll get on my horse named Lefty and ride, ride, ride

Lefty is strong; Lefty is tall
Lefty’s never wrong; Lefty never falls
Lefty is brave; Lefty is brave

I want to be a doctor when I grow up
I want to be a doctor when I’m braver
I want to be a doctor; run around saving everybody’s lives
Then I’ll get on my horse named Lefty and ride, ride, ride

Lefty is strong; Lefty is tall
Lefty’s never wrong Lefty never falls
Lefty is brave….. when I’m afraid I’ll be no one at all

But I want to be a cowboy
I want to be a cowboy when I’m taller
I want to be a cowboy with my sidekick by my side
Get on a horse named Lefty and ride, ride, ride
