Judy Garland - It's A Great Big World - Текст песни

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 saturday 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.
