When a girl changes from bobby sox to stockings  
   C5                                         A5             F5 
And she starts trading her baby toys for boys  
                                     C5 
When that once-shy little sleepyhead  
D5                              A5 
Learns about love and its lilt  
F5 
You can bet that the change  
                                         G5 
Is more than from cotton to silk

If a miss wants to be kissed instead of cuddled  
C5                                         A5             F5
