Judy Garland "It's A Great Big World" |
I bought a bonnet to suit my face I had my petticoat trimmed with lace I looked at the mirror, around I twirled And then I went off in the wide, wide world I dreamed of gentlemen I would meet I saw them all kneeling at my feet I can't understand it, my hair is all curled But my goodness me, it's a great big world And it's cold, cold, cold and we'll soon be old Alas and a lack, it's a great big world I learned to sew and I learned to bake I even frosted an angel cake On Saturday evening when folks dropped in My house was as neat as a brand new pin I thought by learning each social grace Some likely chap might learn to forget my face I can't understand it, I've knitted and pearled But my goodness me it's a great big world And it's cold, cold, cold and we'll soon be old Alas and a lack, it's a great big world A million miles I've danced or more In hopes Prince Charming would cross the floor I can't understand it, I've waltzed and I've whirled But my goodness me, it's a great big world And it's cold, cold, cold and we'll soon be old Alas and a lack, it's a great big world But I'll keep on knitting and doing it well My slippers are one thing I never will sell My petticoat's waiting because who can tell? It's a great big world, it's a great big world Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
