Lyrics[]
Little girls
Little girls
Everywhere I turn
I can see them
Little Girls
Little Girls
Night and day
I eat, sleep and breathe them
I'm an ordinary woman
With feelings
I'd like a man to nibble on my ear
But I'll admit, no man has bit
So, how come I'm the mother of the year?
How I hate
Little shoes
Little socks
And each little bloomer
I'd have cracked
Years ago
If it weren't for my
Sense of humour
Some woman are drippin' with diamonds
Some woman are drippin' with pearls
Lucky me!
Lucky me!
Look at what I'm drippin' with
Little girls!
Little cheeks
Little teeth
Everything around me is little
If I wring
Little necks
Surely I will get an acquittal
Some day I'll step on their freckles
Some night I'll straighten their curls
Send the flood
Send the flu
Anything that
You can do
To, little (little, little), little (little, little)
Little girls
Some day I'll land in the nuthouse
With all the nut and the squirrels (giggle)
There I'll stay
Tucked Away
Until the prohibition of
Little girls
Hee hee hee hee hee
Ha ha ha ha ha
Hee hee hee hee hee
Little girls, little girls
Everywhere I turn I can see them
(Ha ha ha ha ha)
Ugh
Little girls, little girls
Night and day I eat, sleep, and breathe them
(Hee hee hee hee hee)
Get out of here
I should be anywhere but here
On the planes, on the stage or on TV
But I find myself here at the Snot House
Little shoes, little socks
Please kill me, I'm serious
Please kill me, I'm not singing, I'm asking
Locked in a cage with all the rats
I've slipped in the cracks
And now I'm stuck with the scraps and I can't seem to find my way back
Get me out, get me out of here
I'm ready to start 'em after all these years
I'm done with little girls
I wanna be someone in this world
Hee hee hee hee hee
Little girls, little girls
Everywhere I turn I can see them
(Ha ha ha ha ha)
Ugh
Little girls, little girls
Night and day I eat, sleep and breathe them
(Hee hee hee hee hee)
Get out of here!
Yes, I wanna tear my hair out
I should be famous and part of history
But I find myself here at the snot house
Little shoes, little socks
Please kill me, I'm serious
Please kill me, I'm not singing, I'm asking
Locked in a cage with all the rats
I've slipped in the cracks
And now I'm stuck with the scraps and I can't seem to find my way ba-ack
Oh get me out, get me out of here
I'm ready to start 'em after all these years
I'm ready to start 'em after all these years
I'm done with little girls
I wanna be someone in this world
Little girls, little girls
(Hee hee hee hee hee)
Ugh
