Composition

Lyrics
D.W.: Well, if you want to act like them...

(music)

D.W.: Complain about your homework

Bud: And be afraid of tests

D.W.: When your little sister wants to play, tell her that she's a pest

Don't play around or make a mess

Bud: Or with your dinosaur have tea

Together: 'Cause if you want to be a big kid, this is how you have to be

D.W.: Be grumpy in the mornings

Bud: Read books all through the night

D.W.: Even when you know you're wrong, pretend that you are right

When you're angry, stomp upstairs

Bud: When you're happy, don't say 'Whee!'

Together: 'Cause if you want to be a big kid, this is how you have to be

But the most important thing of all, is to always play it cool

D.W.: This is what we'll have to do

Bud: This is how we'll make it through

Together: When we go to big kid school
