Sweet Sixteen
作词:Roger Edens
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 guest 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

And he really like me too, he really did But I had to go and spoil it all I asked him right out if 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 monastery And I would have too, if it hadn't been for Bing Crosby I was afraid they wouldn't have any radios in monasteries So, I devoted my fifteenth year to Kraft cheese
But now it's a different story, I can brush away the tears And laugh 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
