When I grow up, I’d like to build a barn,
But I wonder if I’ll know how.
I guess I’ll just keep learning things
A little at a time,
And I think I’ll start right now.

Because we learn big things a little at a time
To go right up a mountain, first we learn to climb.
I can do anything when I grow up
By learning a little at a time.

When I grow up, I’d like to write a song,
But I wonder if I’ll know how.
I guess I’ll just keep learning things
A little at a time,
And I think I’ll start right now.

Because we learn big things a little at a time
To go right up a mountain, first we learn to climb.
I can do anything when I grow up
By learning a little at a time.

When I grow up, I’d like to fly a plane,
But I wonder if I’ll know how.
I guess I’ll just keep learning things
A little at a time,
And I think I’ll start right now.

Because we learn big things a little at a time
To go right up a mountain, first we learn to climb.
I can do anything when I grow up
By learning a little at a time.

参考译文
　　　　　当我长大后
当我长大后，我想修建一个谷仓，
但不知我是否知道将怎样修建。

一次学一点东西
我想我将从现在开始。

要到山顶上去，首先我们得学会爬山。
靠每次学一点东西，
长大后我就什么都可以干。

　　                   Introduction to the Song
　　It has long been known small steps that are repeated often enough will allow you to complete any undertaking. The reason that a goal is considered impossible is simply that no one has yet attempted to achieve it. Imagination and perseverance make the difference between success and defeat. This song teaches children to start working at whatever their goal is.

　　人们早就知道，不断重复小事会使你终成大事。一个目标被认为不可能实行，原因很简单，因为没人努力去实现它。想像和持之以恒对成败有很大的影响。这首歌教导孩子们应该开始去逐渐实现他们的目标了。
