[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
