Sweet Sixteen - Judy Garland[00:00:00]

For fifteen years I've played a waiting game[00:00:10]

I've suffered like they do in Russian plays[00:00:14]

But if what's in store is really what they claim[00:00:20]

I must admit that suffering really pays[00:00:24]

For fifteen years I've been just like a prisoner in a cell[00:00:31]

For fifteen years my life has been just - awful[00:00:37]

From one to four was such a bore[00:00:45]

I remember how I hated having all those people[00:00:47]

Paw all over me and talk baby talk[00:00:49]

They'd say goo-goo isn't she cunning [00:00:51]

Poor dear she has her father's nose [00:00:54]

Ah-tic-a-tic-a-tic-a-tic-a-tic-a [00:00:56]

The years from five to eight I hate [00:00:58]

I've grown into a very unattractive child[00:01:01]

And consequently was utterly and completely ignored [00:01:04]

But I didn't really mind [00:01:07]

I had a book of Mother Goose and Mother Goose is pretty[00:01:09]

Hot stuff when you're five years old [00:01:12]

At nine I had the measles so that didn't count [00:01:14]

At ten I'd reached the performing stage[00:01:18]

And at the drop of a hat mother[00:01:23]

Would call me in and have me sing[00:01:25]

The Rosary for her guests [00:01:27]

I never will forget how papa used to squirm[00:01:28]

When I hit that high note [00:01:29]

From eleven to thirteen I'd rather not speak of [00:01:31]

It was bad enough having[00:01:35]

Jimmy Doogan pull my hair in school[00:01:36]

But it was positively humiliating[00:01:37]

To have my own mother[00:01:38]

Refer to me as her dear little ugly duckling[00:01:40]

At fourteen I had my first taste of romance [00:01:45]

It was at a party at dancing school[00:01:50]

And he was younger than I was shorter than I was [00:01:52]

Oh but he had a wonderful name - Archibold [00:02:00]

And he really like me too [00:02:04]

Really he did but I had to go and spoil it all [00:02:07]

I asked him right out if he'd be my best beau [00:02:09]

That was the last I ever saw of him [00:02:13]

By now I was fifteen and pretty miserable [00:02:16]

Mother refused to let me wear any lipstick[00:02:19]

Or rouge and I went around looking as pale as death [00:02:21]

It was then that I decided to join the monastary [00:02:26]

And I would have too if it hadn't been for Bing Crosby [00:02:29]

I was afraid they wouldn't have any radios in manastaries [00:02:34]

So I devoted my fifteenth year to Kraft cheese [00:02:38]

But now it's a different story I can brush away the tears[00:02:43]

And lau-augh at those awful fifteen years[00:02:49]

For now I'm [00:02:55]

Sweet Sixteen and I've got my first long dress[00:03:00]

I can even have a date one night a week[00:03:07]

I can paint my lips a little and rouge my cheeks[00:03:13]

I'm sweet sixteen but I really must confess[00:03:18]

Although this grown up life isn't simple[00:03:25]

I wouldn't change places with Shirley Temple[00:03:32]

Gee it's great to be just as free as the birds - above me[00:03:37]

I'm a Juliet out to get a Romeo to love me[00:03:46]

I ask you please forget that I was an in-between[00:03:53]

I mean my flags unfurled I'm a woman of the world[00:04:02]

I'm sweet sixteen [00:04:09]
