I Enjoy Being A Girl

I Enjoy Being A Girl
music by Richard Rodgers (left)

I'm a girl and by me that's only great! I am proud that my silhouette is curvy,
That I walk with a sweet and girlish gait, with my hips kind of swively and swervy.
I adore being dressed in something frilly when my date comes to get me at my place.
Out I go with my Joe or John or Billy, like a filly who is ready for the race!

When I have a brand new hair-do, with my eyelashes all in curl,
I float as the clouds on air do--I enjoy being a girl!
When men say I'm cute and funny, and my teeth aren't teeth, but pearl,
I just lap it up like honey--I enjoy being a girl!

I flip when a fellow sends me flowers, I drool over dresses made of lace,
I talk on the telephone for hours with a pound and a half of cream upon my face!
I'm strictly a female female, and my future, I hope, will be
In the home of a brave and free male who'll enjoy bening a guy,
Having a girl like me!

When men say I'm sweet as candy as around in a dance we whirl,
It goes to my head like brandy--I enjoy being a girl!
When someone with eyes that smoulder, says he loves every silken curl
That falls on my ivory shoulder--I enjoy being a girl!

When I hear the complimentary whistle that greets my bikini by the sea,
I turn and I glower and I bristle but I'm happy to know the whistle's meant for me!

I'm strictly a female female, and my future, I hope, will be
In the home of a brave and free male who'll enjoy being a guy,
Having a girl like me...
