Just visited The Bodhran Page and they have a notice posted which reads : We have received the lyrics for "When I Grow Up", a song about a goat who desires to become a bodhran when he passes on. Unfortunately, we as yet have not been able to determine authorship of the lyrics and/or song and consequently do not have permission to reproduce them on The Bodhrán Page. If you are the author of the lyrics for "When I Grow Up", or if you can put us in touch with the author,....

I'll be back with the link.
