I originally wrote the What do you do? occupations song in the present tense.  The idea being because from a careers education point of view saying “I am …” is much stronger than “I want to be a …”    Unfortunately not everyone has caught up with that idea and “What do you want to be?” is still the most popular phrase!

So not wanting to disappoint I’ve been working on a new “I want to be a …” song.  And it is rocking!  It’s still in the demo stage, but you can download a fresh from the oven mp3 on the members forum.

This being Genki English of course you can also have input into the song.  You can fit 8 words in the song and I’ve chosen the ones below for the demo. But if there are any others that you desperately want to see included instead, please suggest them in the comments below and you never know they might just make it into the final version!

Here’s what we have so far:

I want to be a rockstar
I want to be a baker
I want to be an artist
I want to be a vet

I want to be a dancer
I want to be a florist
I want to be a baseball player
I want to be a superhero
