Bells and Whistles

In A Box 03:10
A teddy here, a teddy there Barbies used to lie everywhere In that corner there was a chair In the closet a dragon's lair Marbles, trinkets, tiny toys And some building blocks made for boys "I won't grow up!" said my tiny voice But it seems I had no choice I'm packing away my childhood in a box I study all day, I never play, so I'll pack it away My worldview changed from 3 foot 2 to 5 foot 3 One by one I felt I was done with the things around me So I'm packing away my childhood in a box First to go were tiny things: garage sale victims Childish books had to go, their reading level way too low Barbies packed in boxes, too "Bye bye, Barbie, nice meeting you, There's so much more that I can do Now I've reached 4 foot 2" I'm packing away my childhood in a box I study all day, I never play, so I'll pack it away My worldview changed from 3 foot 2 to 5 foot 3 One by one I felt I was done with the things around me So I'm packing away my childhood in a box Age is just a number, even eighteen, But the thought of it sure turns me awful green Where did the time go? It's so unfair. What do you do when a table's just a table and a chair is just a chair? So I'll fill in bubbles A through E because that's what you ask of me And I'll make my way in this world, you'll see From the little Lego lover that I used to be But today I grew up, and I only just realized So I hope you'll understand when you see the tears in my eyes 'Cause I'm packing away the last of my childhood In a box In the attic In a box In the closet In a box In the basement In a box Goodbye childhood In a box
