I Enjoy Being a Girl Lyrics
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 swervey
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 curls
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 pearls
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
With someone with eyes that smolder
Says he loves every silken curl
That falls on my ivory shoulder
I enjoy being a girl
When I hear a complementary whistle
That greets my bikini by the sea
I turn and I glower and I gristle
But I'm happy to know the whistles 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
I am proud that my silhouette is curvy
that I walk with a sweet and girlish gait
With my hips kind of swivelly and swervey
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
With my eyelashes all in curls
I float as the clouds on air do
I enjoy being a girl
And my teeth aren't teeth but pearls
I just lap it up like honey
I enjoy being a girl
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
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
As around in a dance we whirl
It goes to my head like brandy
I enjoy being a girl
Says he loves every silken curl
That falls on my ivory shoulder
I enjoy being a girl
That greets my bikini by the sea
I turn and I glower and I gristle
But I'm happy to know the whistles meant for me
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

A song that's a feminist's nightmare, but then again most of the die hard feminists these days are lesbians:) She likes being frilly and soft and admired by men. She likes receiving flowers and being told she's pretty. She lives her soft skin and her curves. She just likes being a girl. And there's nothing wrong with that, especially since she wants a "brave and free male." Just another hit of Peggy Lee's.
I omitted what I had wanted to say...one can be soft without being weak, and equal without being the same:) Men and women were created to complement the other, not compete.
