I Enjoy Being A Girl (Live On The Ed Sullivan Show, December 14, 1958)

I'm a girl, and by me that's only great

I am proud that my silhouette is curvy

That I walk with a sweet and girlish gait

With my hips kind of swivelly and swervy

I adore being dressed in something frilly

When my date comes to get me at my place

Out I go with my Joe or John or Billy

Like a filly who is ready for the race

When I have a brand new hairdo

With my eyelashes all in curl

I float as the clouds on air do

I enjoy being a girl

When men say I'm cute and funny

And my teeth aren't teeth, but pearl

I just lap it up like honey

I enjoy being a girl

I flip when a fellow sends me flowers

I drool over dresses made of lace

I talk on the telephone for hours

With a pound and a half of cream upon my face

I'm strictly a female, female

And my future I hope will be

In the home of a brave and free male

Who'll enjoy being a guy having a girl like me

When men say I'm sweet as candy

As around in a dance we whirl

It goes to my head like brandy

I enjoy being a girl

When someone with eyes that smoulder

Says he loves ev'ry silken curl

That falls on my iv'ry shoulder

I enjoy being a girl

When I hear the compliment'ry whistle

That greets my bikini by the sea

I turn and I glower and I bristle

But I am happy to know the whistle's meant for me

I'm strictly a female, female

And my future I hope will be

In the home of a brave and free male

Who'll enjoy being a guy having a girl like me
