I Want It Now

By Roald Dahl

Gooses, geeses

I want my geese to lay gold eggs for easter

At least a hundred a day

And by the way

I want a feast

I want a bean feast

Cream buns and doughnuts

And fruitcake with no nuts

So good you could go nuts

No, now

I want a ball

I want a party

Pink macaroons

And a million balloons

And performing baboons and

Give it to me now

I want the world

I want the whole world

I want to lock it

All up in my pocket

It's my bar of chocolate

Give it to me now

I want today

I want tomorrow

I want to wear 'em

Like braids in my hair and

I don't want to share 'em

I want a party with roomfuls of laughter

Ten thousand tons of ice cream

And if I don't get the things I am after

I'm going to scream

I want the works

I want the whole works

Presents and prizes

And sweets and surprises

Of all shapes and sizes

And now

Don't care how, I want it now

Don't care how, I want it now
