Why not? I've onboard seven years,
I ask why not? I wanna be a big boy,
I ask why not? I live in the shad-ows,
I - want - a - damn - pre-motion!

Cap'n, I'm almost thirty years old,
Yeah Cap'n, I've always done what I what I'm told,
Damnit Cap'n, what's a guy gotta do?
I'm an Ensign, it's such an em-bar-ass-ment!

I'm gonna stamp and scream "Make me a big boy!"
I'm gonna stamp and scream "Make me a big boy!"
It ain't fair anymore, Sev has more power than me!
I wanna play with the big boys!

I'm gonna stamp and scream "Make me a big boy!"
I'm gonna stamp and scream "Make me a big boy!"
Justify this, I've worked Ops seven years,
Even the Maquis out - rank meeeeeee!

Cap'n I beg of you, make me a man,
Hell Cap'n, bridge at night ain't no fun,
Oh Cap'n, I want more power than that,
I - want - to - make - mommy - pro - oud!

Cap'n, I've called you Cap, Ma'am and Cow,
I said Cap'n, can I call you Kath now?
I ask Cap'n, is this a good time?
No - I - won't - ask - Cha - Ko - tay!

I'm gonna stamp and scream "Make me a big boy!"
I'm gonna stamp and scream "Make me a big boy!"

Yes Ma'am, i'll shut the door on my way out,
Sorry Ma'am, I'll bother you no more,
Of course Ma'am, I'm not ready to grow,
Yes - i'll - put - the - coffee - down - now!
