It’s worse than waiting for a bus;
I fear I used to fret and fuss,
But now, when by impatience vexed,
Between one birthday and the next,
I think that of all that I have seen
That keeps on happening in between.
The song I’ve heard, the sing I’ve done,
Make my un-birthdays not so un-.

Nothing has gone wrong.

Nobody has scolded me,
Everyone has smiled.
Isn’t it delicious
To be a birthday child?

if I’m growing,
My mum says yes I’m growing
But it’s hard for me to see.
My mum says, “Eat you sandwich,
It’ll make you grow up tall,”
But when I eat my sandwich
I’m hardly bigger at all.
And I wonder if I’m growing,
I wonder if I’m growing
My mum says yes I’m growing
But it’s hard for me to see.
My mum says, “Wash your hands now,
Then can you go and play.”
Hey, I can reach the tap now!
For the very first time today.
And I think I must be growing,
Yes I know I’m really growing,
My mum says yes I’m growing,
And now I know it’s true.
