Verse 1
(C major) (A minor) (D minor) (G major)
For (C major) fifteen years I've
(F major) played a waiting (C major) game,
I've (D major) suffered like (G major) they do in Russian plays. (F major)
(C major) But if what's in store
(F major) is really what (C major) they claim
I must (E minor) admit that (B major) suffering really pains
(E minor) For (D minor) fif teen years I've been
just like a prisoner in a cell
(D major) For fifteen years my life
(D minor) has been (D major) just (G major) aw ful
From one to four was (C major) such a bore
I remember how I hated
having all those people call
me and talk baby talk.
(G major) They'd say (D minor) goo -goo
(G major) Is n't she cunning?
(F major) Poor dear.
She has her (C major) father's nose (E minor)
(C major) The years (A flat major) from five to (D flat major) eight I hate
I've grown into a very unattractive
(B flat minor) child
and consequently was utterly and
com (E flatdim) pletely ignored
(D flat major) But I didn't really mind.
I had a book of Mother (B flat minor) Goose
an (F sharp major) d Mother Goose
is pretty hot stuff
(D major) when you're five years old
At (A major) nine, I had the measles,
(D major) so that didn't count
At (B flat major) ten, I had reached
the per (E flat major) forming stage
an (G major) d at the drop of the hat,
(E flat major) Mother would call me in
and have me sing the (B flat major) Ros ary for
her guests
I never will forget
how (B major) Papa used to squirm
when I hit that high note
From eleven to thirteen,
I'd (E major) rather not speak of
It was bad enough having
Jimmy Duke
and pull my hair in school
but it was positively humiliating
to have my (Gdim) own mother
refer to (F sharpdim) me as her (B major) dear little ugly duckling
At (C major) 14, (F major) I had my first taste of (Bdim) ro mance
(Fdim) It (F major) was at a party at dancing (C major) school
and he (F major) was younger than I was
and (E major) shorter than I (A major) was
Oh, but he had a won
(D major) derful name (E flatdim) Archibald
(F sharpdim) And he (B flat minor) really liked me
too, he really did
(C major) Then I had to go and spoil it all.
I asked him right (F major) out
if he'd be my best beau.
That was the last I ever saw of him.
By (D flat major) now I was 15 and
(F sharp major) pretty miserable. (B major)
(F sharp major) Mother refused to let me wear any
(B flat major) lipstick or rouge
and (E flat minor) I went (E flatdim) around looking as (B major) pale as
death.
It was then that I decided
to (E flatdim) join the monastery
and I would have (B flatdim) too,
if it (B flat minor) hadn't been for Bing (D flat major) Crosby.
(B flat minor) I (G flat major) was afraid they wouldn't have any
radios in monasteries
So, (G major) I devoted my 15th year to craft cheese
But (D minor) now it's a different (G major) story
I can (C major) brush away (A minor) the tears
An (D major) d laugh at those awful 15 (G major) years
For now I'm (C major) sweet (E minor) (C major) 16
(E flatdim) and (D minor) I've got my (G major) first long (C major) dress.
I can even have a (D major) date
one night a (G major) week.
(A flatdim) I (E major) can (C major) paint my (A minor) lips (E minor) a little
and (D major) rouge my (G major) cheek.
(C major) I'm sweet six (E flatdim) teen
but (D minor) I (Bdim) really (E major) must con (A minor) fess. (Eaug)
(A minor) Although (E flatdim) this (G major) grown -up
(Ddim) life isn't (D minor) simple, (D major)
I (G major) wouldn't change places
with Shirley Temple.
(C major) Gee, it's great to be just as free
as the birds above (F major) (B flat major) me. (C major) (B flat major)
(G minor)
(C major) I'm a Juliet
Get out to (A minor) get a (D major) Romeo to love (D minor) (G major) me
(D minor) I (G major) ask (E minor) you please (C major) for (E flatdim) get
that (D minor) I was (E major) an in -between (A major)
I (A minor) (F major) mean my (E flatdim) (A flat major) (C major) flags are furled
I'm a (A flat major) woman of the world
I'm (D minor) sweet (G major) sixteen (C major)
You
Sweet Sixteen
