I Wanna Do What I Wanna Do

(This is inspired by, and is written for, the lovely River Ogden Cabezas (@TheDollytot). I loved the chorus to River’s little song so much (it keeps getting stuck in my head) that I had to write the rest of the song for him. Thank you for making me smile on ‘Stage It’, River; this is for you.)

My mom says to clean my room – and I don’t wanna do it.

My dad says to eat my greens – and I don’t wanna do it.

My sister says, “Play with me!” – and I don’t wanna do it.

They always want stuff from me – and I don’t wanna do it.

Why won’t anyone listen to me?

I wanna do what I wanna do.

I wanna do what I wanna do – wanna do.

I wanna do what I wanna do.

I wanna do what I wanna do – wanna do.

My mom says to clean the chicken poo – and I don’t wanna do it.

My dad says to turn off the TV – and I don’t wanna do it.

My sister says, “Play quietly!” – and I don’t wanna do it.

They’re always asking stuff from me – and I don’t wanna do it.

Why can’t I do things for me?

I wanna do what I wanna do.

I wanna do what I wanna do – wanna do.

I wanna do what I wanna do.

I wanna do what I wanna do – wanna do.

I wanna ride my bike,

Eat ice cream,

Stay up all night;

Live my life to the extreme.

I wanna learn guitar,

Play basketball

And be a rock star;

I just want it all.

And I just wanna be me!

I wanna do what I wanna do.

I wanna do what I wanna do – wanna do.

I wanna do what I wanna do.

I wanna do what I wanna do – wanna do.

I wanna do what I wanna do.

I wanna do what I wanna do – wanna do.

I wanna do what I wanna do.

And I just want it now!
