One day I was playing, I like to jump and run.
I didn't want to take a nap--I was having fun!
Daddy said, "You need to rest if you want to grow!"
He's so big I'm sure he ought to know!

Chorus:
Growing, growing everyday.
If you want to grow fast, this is the way.
Growing bigger than before
Every hour that you sleep you grow a little more!

Plants and flowers bow their heads,
So when the sun goes down,
They close up and go to sleep
Until the sun comes 'round.
And that's why in the morning
They look so big and bright.
They've been sleeping and growing all the night!

[Repeat chorus]

Now when it's time to nap I don't make a peep.
I lie down and close my eyes and go right to sleep.
But there's one thing that I can't understand at all,
Why does Mommy take naps? She's already tall!

[Repeat chorus]

Every hour that you sleep you grow a little more!
