How lovely to be a woman
The wait was well worthwhile
How lovely to wear mascara
And smile a woman's smile

How lovely to have a figure
That's round instead of flat
Whenever you hear boys whistle
You're what they're whistling at

It's wonderful to feel the way a woman feels
It gives you such a glow just to know
You're wearing lipstick and heels

How lovely to be a woman
And have one job to do
To pick out a boy and train him
And then when you are through

You've made him the man you want him to be
How lovely to be a woman like me

It's wonderful to know
The things a woman knows
How marvelous to wait for a date
In simply beautiful clothes

How lovely to be a woman
And change from boys to men
To go to a fancy nightclub
And stay out after ten

How lovely to be so grown-up and free
Life's lovely when you're a woman like me
