Sweet Sixteen (甜蜜的十六岁) - So What!
For fifteen years
I've played a waiting game
I've suffered like they do in Russian plays
But if what's in store is really what they claim
I must admit that suffering really pays
For fifteen years
I've been just like a prisoner in a cell
For fifteen years my life has been just awful
From one to four was such a bore
I remember how I hated having all those people
Paw all over me and talk baby talk

They'd say goo-goo isn't she cunning
Poor dear she has her father's nose
Ah-tic-a-tic-a-tic-a-tic-a-tic-a
The years from five to eight I hate
I've grown into a very unattractive child
And consequently was utterly
And completely ignored
But I didn't really mind
I had a book of Mother Goose
And Mother Goose is pretty
Hot stuff when you're five years old
At nine I had the measles so that didn't count
At ten I'd reached the performing stage
And at the drop of a hat
Mother would call me in and have me sing
The Rosary for her guests
I never will forget how papa used to squirm
When I hit that high note

From eleven to thirteen
I'd rather not speak of
It was bad enough having Jimmy Doogan
Pull my hair in school
But it was positively humiliating
To have my own mother
Refer to me as her dear little ugly duckling
At fourteen I had my first taste of romance
It was at a party at dancing school
And he was younger than I was

Shorter than I was
Oh but he had a wonderful name - Archibold
And he really like me too
Really he did

But I had to go and spoil it all
I asked him right out if he'd be my best beau

That was the last I ever saw of him
By now I was fifteen and pretty miserable
Mother refused to let me wear any lipstick
Or rouge and I went around looking
As pale as death
It was then that I decided to join the monastary
And I would have too
If it hadn't been for Bing Crosby
I was afraid
They wouldn't have any radios in manastaries

So I devoted my fifteenth year to Kraft cheese
But now it's a different story
I can brush away the tears
And lau-augh at those awful fifteen years
For now I'm
Sweet Sixteen and I've got my first long dress
I can even have a date one night a week
I can paint my lips a little and rouge my cheeks
I'm sweet sixteen but I really must confess
Although this grown up life isn't simple
I wouldn't change places with Shirley Temple
Gee it's great to be just
As free as the birds above me
I'm a Juliet out to get a Romeo to love me
I ask you
Please forget that I was an in-between
I mean my flags unfurled
I'm a woman of the world
I'm sweet sixteen
