Sweet Sixteen - Judy Garland
For fifteen years I've played a waiting game
I've suffered like they do in russian plays
But if what's in store is really what they claim
I must admit that suffering really pays
For fifteen years I've been just like a prisoner in a cell
For fifteen years my life has been just awful
From one to four was such a bore
I remember how I hated having all those people paw all over me
And talk baby talk they'd say goo-goo isn't she cunning
Poor dear she has her father's nose ah-tic-a-tic-a-tic-a-tic-a-tic-a
The years from five to eight I hate
I've grown into a very unattractive child and consequently
Was utterly and completely ignored
But I didn't really mind I had a book of mother goose and mother goose
Is pretty hot stuff when you're five years old
At nine I had the measles so that didn't count
At ten I'd reached the performing stage
And at the drop of a hat mother would call me in
And have me sing the rosary for her guests
I never will forget how papa used to squirm when I hit that high note
From eleven to thirteen
I'd rather not speak of
It was bad enough having jimmy doogan pull my hair in school
But it was positively humiliating to have my own mother
Refer to me as her dear little ugly duckling
At fourteen I had my first taste of romance
It was at a party at dancing school and
He was younger than I was shorter than I was
Oh but he had a wonderful name archibold
And he really like me too he really did
But I had to go and spoil it all I asked him right out
IIf he'd be my best beau
That was the last I ever saw of him
By now I was fifteen and pretty miserable
Mother refused to let me wear any lipstick or rouge
And I went around looking as pale as death
It was then that I decided to join the monastary
And I would have too if it hadn't been for bing crosby
I was afraid they wouldn't have any radios in monastaries
So I devoted my fifteenth year to kraft cheese
But now it's a different story I can brush away the tears
And lau-augh at those awful fifteen years for now I'm
Sweet sixteen and I've got my first long dress
I can even have a date one night a week
I can paint my lips a little and rouge my cheeks
I'm sweet sixteen but I really must confess
Although this grown up life isn't simple
I wouldn't change places with shirley temple
Gee it's great to be just as free as the birds above me
I'm a juliet out to get a romeo to love me
I ask you please forget that I was an in-between
I mean my flags unfurled I'm a woman of the world
I'm sweet sixteen
