Lyrics

  1. Twenty today, that is to say
    Childhood’s passed
    Isn’t it good young women hood
    Here at last
    Sixteen is fine, eighteen divine
    Nineteen brings on courting scenes
    But oh! what a joy, to the girl or the boy
    When bidding “Good bye” to their ‘teens
    For

Chorus
I’m just out of my ‘teens since yesterday
And I know that it means
I’m to have my way
Now I want kisses for that’s where the bliss is
I must have a sweetheart some how
For I’m just out of my ‘teens
I’m a big girl now

  1. Monday with Joe, off to a show
    Tuesday Fred
    Wednesday with Jack, Brighton and back
    Thursday Ned
    Friday with Jim, I’m fond of him
    Saturday Frank will propose
    On Sundays you see, I’m just longing to be
    Surrounded by all of my beaux
