[00:00:00] Sweet Sixteen - So What! (朱迪·嘉兰)

[00:00:00] Written by：Unknown

[00:00:09] For fifteen years I've played a waiting game

[00:00:14] I've suffered like they do in russian plays

[00:00:20] But if what's in store is really what they claim

[00:00:25] I must admit that suffering really pays

[00:00:31] For fifteen years I've been just like a prisoner in a cell

[00:00:36] For fifteen years my life has been just awful

[00:00:43] From one to four was such a bore

[00:00:46] I remember how I hated having all those people paw all over me

[00:00:49] And talk baby talk they'd say goo-goo isn't she cunning

[00:00:54] Poor dear she has her father's nose ah-tic-a-tic-a-tic-a-tic-a-tic-a

[00:00:58] The years from five to eight I hate

[00:01:01] I've grown into a very unattractive child and consequently

[00:01:03] Was utterly and completely ignored

[00:01:06] But I didn't really mind I had a book of mother goose and mother goose

[00:01:11] Is pretty hot stuff when you're five years old

[00:01:14] At nine I had the measles so that didn't count

[00:01:18] At ten I'd reached the performing stage

[00:01:22] And at the drop of a hat mother would call me in

[00:01:24] And have me sing the rosary for her guests

[00:01:27] I never will forget how papa used to squirm when I hit that high note

[00:01:31] From eleven to thirteen

[00:01:32] I'd rather not speak of

[00:01:34] It was bad enough having jimmy doogan pull my hair in school

[00:01:37] But it was positively humiliating to have my own mother

[00:01:40] Refer to me as her dear little ugly duckling

[00:01:44] At fourteen I had my first taste of romance

[00:01:49] It was at a party at dancing school and

[00:01:53] He was younger than I was shorter than I was

[00:01:59] Oh but he had a wonderful name archibold

[00:02:03] And he really like me too he really did

[00:02:06] But I had to go and spoil it all I asked him right out

[00:02:10] IIf he'd be my best beau

[00:02:12] That was the last I ever saw of him

[00:02:16] By now I was fifteen and pretty miserable

[00:02:19] Mother refused to let me wear any lipstick or rouge

[00:02:22] And I went around looking as pale as death

[00:02:26] It was then that I decided to join the monastary

[00:02:28] And I would have too if it hadn't been for bing crosby

[00:02:34] I was afraid they wouldn't have any radios in monastaries

[00:02:37] So I devoted my fifteenth year to kraft cheese

[00:02:43] But now it's a different story I can brush away the tears

[00:02:48] And lau-augh at those awful fifteen years for now I'm

[00:02:58] Sweet sixteen and I've got my first long dress

[00:03:06] I can even have a date one night a week

[00:03:12] I can paint my lips a little and rouge my cheeks

[00:03:17] I'm sweet sixteen but I really must confess

[00:03:25] Although this grown up life isn't simple

[00:03:31] I wouldn't change places with shirley temple

[00:03:36] Gee it's great to be just as free as the birds above me

[00:03:45] I'm a juliet out to get a romeo to love me

[00:03:53] I ask you please forget that I was an in-between

[00:04:01] I mean my flags unfurled I'm a woman of the world

[00:04:08] I'm sweet sixteen
