Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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 kinda swivel-ly and swerve-y

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

[Chorus]

When I have a brand new hairdo

With my eyelashes all in curl

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 pearl

I just lap it up like honey

I enjoy being a girl

[Verse 2]

I flip when a fella 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

[Chorus]

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

When someone with eyes that smolder

Says he loves every silken curl

That falls on my ivory shoulder

I enjoy being a girl

[Verse 3]

When I hear a complimentary whistle

That greets my bikini by the sea

I turn and I glower and I bristle

But I'm happy to know the whistle's 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
