I remember back when I was very small
There used to be this light switch in the hall
I was much too short to reach it so I couldn`t turn on the light
My mom would have to turn it off at bedtime ev`ry night
And of course my dad could reach it and my sister could reach it too
But somehow I was just too small and what was I to do?
Well time went by and I just grew and grew
And I was tall enough - yes I was tall enough
I could stretch and reach the light switch in the hall enough
And I must have turned it on and off a hundred times a day `cause I was
Tall enough
Hooray
Momma kept a sack of birdseed on a shelf
That everyone could reach except myself
I would stand up on my tip toes but I wouldn`t quite reach the sack
It`s not much fun to be too short to get yourself a snack
And of course my dad could reach it and my sister could reach it too
But somehow I was just too small and what was I to do?
Well time went by and I just grew and grew
And I was tall enough
I could stretch and reach that shelf up on the wall enough
And I bet I must have had a hundred snacks that happy day `cause I was
Tall enough
Hooray
So if you can`t reach the shelf up on the wall
Well no one can when they are young and small
`Cause everyone starts out little and then ev`ryone grows and grows
It`s something very simple, something ev`rybody knows yes
Your dad was really little once your sister was little too
And even I was little once and then I grew and grew
And right now you`re just tall enough for you
Oh yes you`re tall enough - exactly tall enough
Exactly far enough and thin enough and small enough
And although you`re growing taller in your very special way
Still you are tall enough today
Yes you`re tall enough
Hoo-ray
