mi ero abituata alle ballate nostalgiche e depressine di Great lake swimmers e questa canzone mi ha proprio spiazzata. si intitola See you on the moon, è del 2006 e fa parte di una compilation omonima quasi esclusivamente di autori canadesi e dedicata ai bambini.

PS: tu cosa volevi fare da grande?
When I grow up maybe I’ll be a veterinarian.
I’ll take care of little animals
like ponies and parakeets
and i’ll give them food to eat
and the puppies go “yip, yip, yip”
and the kitties go “meow, meow, meow”
and thank you veterinarian.
maybe I’ll be an astronaut and work for NASA.
maybe I’ll see you on the moon,
I’ll see you on the moon,
I’ll see you on the moon.
There’s lots of things that you can be,
when you grow up, just wait and see.
When I grow up maybe I’ll be a farmer.
grow all kinds of food to eat
like shiny apples red or green
or fields of corn for dinnertime
I’ll drive my tractor in the sun
while the chickens go “bock, bock, bock”
and the cows go “moo, moo, moo”
and thank you farmer.
maybe I’ll be an astronaut and work for NASA.
maybe I’ll see you on the moon,
I’ll see you on the moon,
I’ll see you on the moon.
When I grow up maybe I’ll be a carpenter,
and build a big, long house
for people and their families
and I’ll build it out of wood and bricks
with a porch where people can sit
and the hammers go “knock, knock, knock”
and the saws go “chop, chop, chop”
and thank you carpenter.
There’s lots of things that you can be,
we are free to be you and me.
When I grow up maybe I’ll be a singer in a band
and I’ll drive all across the land
with my friends all in the van
and I’ll sing into a microphone
but when it’s over, I’ll come home
while the people go “clap, clap, clap”
and the drummer goes “tap, tap, tap”
and thank you singer.
maybe I’ll be an astronaut and work for NASA.
maybe I’ll see you on the moon,
I’ll see you on the moon,
I’ll see you on the moon.
There’s lots of things that you can be,
when you grow up just wait and see.
There’s lots of things that we can be,
when we grow up, just wait and see, see.
