[ti:Sweet Sixteen] [ar:judy garland] [al:Over The Rainbow] [by:] [offset:0] [00:02.06]Sweet Sixteen – Judy garland [00:06.51] [00:09.82]For fifteen years I've played a waiting game [00:14.82]I've suffered like they do in Russian plays [00:20.76]But if what's in store is really what they claim [00:25.76]I must admit that suffering really pays [00:31.51]For fifteen years I've been just like a prisoner in a cell [00:37.26]For fifteen years my life has been just - awful [00:43.39] [00:44.20]From one to four was such a bore [00:47.33]I remember how I hated having all those people [00:49.50]Paw all over me and talk baby talk [00:51.18]They’d say goo-goo isn't she cunning [00:54.18]Poor dear she has her father's nose [00:56.43]Ah-tic-a-tic-a-tic-a-tic-a-tic-a [00:56.61] [00:58.43]The years from five to eight I hate [01:01.18]I've grown into a very unattractive child [01:03.62]And consequently was utterly and completely ignored [01:06.85]But I didn't really mind [01:09.09]I had a book of Mother Goose and Mother Goose is pretty [01:12.58]Hot stuff when you're five years old [01:15.02]At nine I had the measles so that didn't count [01:18.65]At ten I'd reached the performing stage [01:22.83]And at the drop of a hat mother would call me in and have me sing [01:26.01]The Rosary for her guests [01:27.70]I never will forget how papa used to squirm [01:29.51]When I hit that high note [01:31.70]From eleven to thirteen I'd rather not speak of [01:35.33]It was bad enough having Jimmy Doogan pull my hair in school [01:37.52]But it was positively humiliating to have my own mother [01:40.66]Refer to me as her dear little ugly duckling [01:45.24]At fourteen I had my first taste of romance [01:49.11] [01:50.42]It was at a party at dancing school [01:52.74]And he was younger than I was shorter than I was [02:00.31]Oh but he had a wonderful name - Archibold [02:03.44] [02:04.46]And he really like me too [02:05.64]He really did but I had to go and spoil it all [02:09.81]I asked him right out if he'd be my best beau [02:14.09]That was the last I ever saw of him [02:16.68]By now I was fifteen and pretty miserable [02:20.06]Mother refused to let me wear any lipstick [02:21.93]Or rouge and I went around looking as pale as death [02:26.94]It was then that I decided to join the monastary [02:29.56]And I would have too if it hadn't been for Bing Crosby [02:34.81]I was afraid they wouldn't have any radios in manastaries [02:38.81]So I devoted my fifteenth year to Kraft cheese [02:44.07]But now it's a different story I can brush away the tears [02:49.45]And lau-augh at those awful fifteen years [02:55.01]For now I'm [02:59.26]Sweet Sixteen and I've got my first long dress [03:07.33]I can even have a date one night a week [03:13.20]I can paint my lips a little and rouge my cheeks [03:18.47]I'm sweet sixteen but I really must confess [03:25.66] [03:26.40]Although this grown up life isn't simple [03:32.53]I wouldn't change places with Shirley Temple [03:37.59]Gee it's great to be just as free as the birds - above me [03:45.61] [03:46.92]I'm a Juliet out to get a Romeo to love me [03:54.36]I ask you please forget that I was an in-between [04:02.86]I mean my flags unfurled I'm a woman of the world [04:10.14]I'm sweet sixteen
