《Sweet Sixteen》歌词

[00:00:01] Sweet Sixteen – Judy Garland

[00:00:10] For fifteen years I've played a waiting game

[00:00:15] I've suffered like they do in Russian plays

[00:00:20] But if what's in store is really what they claim

[00:00:25] I must admit that suffering really pays

[00:00:31] For fifteen years I've been just like a prisoner in a cell

[00:00:36] For fifteen years my life has been just - awful

[00:00:43] From one to four was such a bore

[00:00:46] I remember how I hated having all those people

[00:00:48] Paw all over me and talk baby talk

[00:00:51] They'd say goo-goo isn't she cunning

[00:00:53] Poor dear she has her father's nose

[00:00:55] Ah-tic-a-tic-a-tic-a-tic-a-tic-a

[00:00:57] The years from five to eight I hate

[00:01:00] I've grown into a very unattractive child

[00:01:02] And consequently was utterly and completely ignored

[00:01:06] But I didn't really mind

[00:01:08] I had a book of Mother Goose and Mother Goose is pretty

[00:01:11] Hot stuff when you're five years old

[00:01:13] At nine I had the measles so that didn't count

[00:01:17] At ten I'd reached the performing stage

[00:01:21] And at the drop of a hat mother would call me in and have me sing

[00:01:24] The Rosary for her guests

[00:01:26] I never will forget how papa used to squirm

[00:01:28] When I hit that high note

[00:01:30] From eleven to thirteen I'd rather not speak of

[00:01:33] It was bad enough having Jimmy Doogan pull my hair in school

[00:01:36] But it was positively humiliating to have my own mother

[00:01:39] Refer to me as her dear little ugly duckling

[00:01:43] At fourteen I had my first taste of romance

[00:01:48] It was at a party at dancing school

[00:01:50] And he was younger than I was shorter than I was

[00:01:58] Oh but he had a wonderful name - Archibold

[00:02:02] And he really like me too

[00:02:04] Really he did but I had to go and spoil it all

[00:02:07] I asked him right out if he'd be my best beau

[00:02:11] That was the last I ever saw of him

[00:02:14] By now I was fifteen and pretty miserable

[00:02:17] Mother refused to let me wear any lipstick

[00:02:19] Or rouge and I went around looking as pale as death

[00:02:24] It was then that I decided to join the monastary

[00:02:26] And I would have too if it hadn't been for Bing Crosby

[00:02:32] I was afraid they wouldn't have any radios in manastaries

[00:02:35] So I devoted my fifteenth year to Kraft cheese

[00:02:40] But now it's a different story I can brush away the tears

[00:02:46] And lau-augh at those awful fifteen years

[00:02:51] For now I'm

[00:02:55] Sweet Sixteen and I've got my first long dress

[00:03:03] I can even have a date one night a week

[00:03:09] I can paint my lips a little and rouge my cheeks

[00:03:14] I'm sweet sixteen but I really must confess

[00:03:22] Although this grown up life isn't simple

[00:03:28] I wouldn't change places with Shirley Temple

[00:03:32] Gee it's great to be just as free as the birds - above me

[00:03:42] I'm a Juliet out to get a Romeo to love me

[00:03:49] I ask you please forget that I was an in-between

[00:03:57] I mean my flags unfurled I'm a woman of the world

[00:04:04] I'm sweet sixteen
