Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I feel pretty, oh, so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and gay
And I pity any girl who isn't me today
[Verse 2]
I feel charming, oh, so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel
And so pretty that I hardly can believe I'm real
[Verse 3]
See the pretty girl in that mirror there
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face, such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile, such a pretty me!
[Verse 4]
I feel stunning and entrancing
Feel like running and dancing for joy
For I'm loved by a pretty wonderful boy
[Verse 5]
Have you met my good friend Maria?
The craziest girl on the block
You'll know her the minute you see her
She's the one who is in an advanced state of shock
[Verse 6]
She thinks she's in love
She thinks she's in Spain
She isn't in love
She's merely insane
[Verse 7]
It must be the heat
Or some rare disease
Or too much to eat
Or maybe it's fleas
[Verse 8]
Keep away from her, send for Chino!
This is not the Maria we know!
[Verse 9]
Modest and pure
Polite and refined
Well-bred and mature
And out of her mind!
[Verse 10]
I feel pretty, oh, so pretty
That the city should give me its key
A committee should be organized to honor me
[Verse 11]
I feel dizzy, I feel sunny
I feel fizzy and funny and fine
And so pretty, Miss America can just resign
[Verse 12]
See the pretty girl in that mirror there? (What mirror, where?)
Who can that attractive girl be? (Which? What? Where? Whom?)
Such a pretty face, such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile, such a pretty me
(Such a pretty me, such a pretty me, such a pretty me)
[Verse 13]
I feel stunning (I feel stunning)
And entrancing (And entrancing)
Feel like running and dancing for joy (Feel like running and dancing for joy)
For I'm loved by a pretty wonderful boy
