I Wanna Be a Gal

When I was green and clean and boy  

I said to mom: 

I wanna be a gal

and mom she asked me what I want 

for she was not sure she heard me right 

I said I wanna be a gal 

a gaal a gaaaal

a beautiful gal 

with tassels fair and fluffy  

hanging freely on my back 

an' big blue eyes 

an' rosy cheeks 

an' golden shoes like Cinderella 

an' marry a prince and be his princess 



an' dad he overheard me whine

an' raised his stick and 

hit 

hit 

hit  

But mom she wasn't gruesome at all  

She only covered my face with spit
