judy garland - it's a great big world lyrics
susan: i bought a bonnet to suit my face
i had my petticoat trimmed with lace
i looked at the mirror, around i twirled
and then i went out in the wide, wide world
i dreamed of gentlemen i would meet
i saw them all kneeling at my feet
i can’t understand it, my hair is all curled
but my goodness me, it’s a great big world
and it’s a cold, cold, cold and we’ll soon be old
alas and a lack, it’s a great big world.
i learned to sew and i learned to bake
i even frosted an angel cake
on sat-rday evening, when folks dropped in
my house was as neat as a brand new pin
i thought by learning each social grace
a chap might learn to forget my face
i can’t understand it, i’ve knitted and pearled
but my goodness me it’s a great big world!
and it’s a cold, cold, cold and we’ll soon be old
alas and a lack, it’s a great big world.
i had no petticoat trimmed with lace
my angel cake was a sure disgrace
my face was my fortune, my mother said
and my dancing slippers of bright, bright red.
a million miles i’ve danced or more
in hopes prince charming would cross the floor
i can’t understand it, i’ve waltzed and i’ve whirled
but my goodness me, it’s a great big world.
and it’s a cold, cold, cold and we’ll soon be old
alas and a lack, it’s a great big world.
repeat chorus
but i’ll keep on knitting and doing it well
my slippers are one thing i never will sell
my petticoat’s waiting, because who can tell?
it’s a great big world, it’s a great big world.
