When I was just a kid
I used to be a pirate
When I was just a kid
Then I changed my mind
And chose to be a squid
That wasn't very smart
For I didn't know how to swim
Nor could I hold my breath
So I chose to choose again
Next I chose a bird
Flew high above the skies
But it always seemed to be
The clouds would fill my eyes
So lastly what I chose
Was to be just little me
There is nothing more exciting
And nothing quite as free
When I was just a kid
