What'll I Do? / TimeHeals Everything - Ирвинг Берлин, Jerry Herman, Barbara Cook

I Enjoy Being a Girl

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 swivelly and swervey

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 hairdo

With my eyelashes all in curls

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 pearls

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 being 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

With someone with eyes that smolder

Says he loves every silken curl

That falls on my ivory shoulder

I enjoy being a girl

When I hear a complementary whistle

That greets my bikini by the sea

I turn and I glower and I gristle

But I’m happy to know the whistles 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
