How lovely to be a woman

The wait was well worth while

How lovely to wear mascara

And smile a woman's smile

How lovely to have a figure

That's round instead of flat

Whenever you hear boys whistle

You're what they're whistling at

It's wonderful to feel

The way a woman feels

It gives you such a glow just to know

You're wearing lipstick and heels

How lovely to be a woman

And have one job to do

To pick out a boy and train him

And then when you are through

You've made him the man you want him to be

How lovely to be a woman like me

It's wonderful to know

The things a woman knows

How marvelous to wait for a date

In simply beautiful clothes

How lovely to be a woman

And change from boys to men

To go to a fancy nightclub

And stay out after ten

How lovely to be so grown up and free

Life's lovely when you're a woman like me
