When a girl changes from bobby sox to stockings

And she starts trading her baby toys for boys

When that once shy little sleepyhead

Learns about love and it's lilt

You can bet that the change

Is more than from cotton to silk

If a miss wants to be kissed instead of cuddled

And to this you are in doubt as what to say

When a girl changes from bobby sox to stockings

Then she's old enough to give her heart away

When a girl changes from bobby sox to stockings

And she starts trading her baby toys for boys

When that once shy little sleepyhead

Learns about love and it's lilt

You can bet that the change

Is more than from cotton to silk

If a miss wants to be kissed instead of cuddled

And to this you are in doubt as what to say

When a girl changes from bobby sox to stockings

Then she's old enough to give her heart away

Yes she's old enough to give her heart away
