We're not little babies anymore, No! We don't play with dollies on the floor, Nah! We know how to act our age We have passed the infant stage That's why we are in a rage We're not little babies anymore, More We think children are an awful bore, Bore You don't realize the fact that we are growing up And we're not little babies anymore
We're young people, we are young people Ready to have our fling We're not old, yet, we're just in-between We're nine and we're ten, well, that's almost sixteen We're young ladies and we're their boyfriends And love is a wonderful thing Please don't call me sonny, it makes me blush Stop that baby talk, that umsey-wumsey mush The days of bibs and teddy bears and kiddie cars are gone For time ta-ta-ta-ta marches on
Life's a stage and we are in the show We know everything there is to know. When we're in the parlor and the lights are low Don't bribe us with a nickel, we'll refuse to go Sisters, better tell your romantic gents We have a minimum number charge of fifty cents We hate to hear a fairy tale before we go to bed We'd rather have you telling us what Walter Winchell said We know our table manners, when to use a knife and fork And we know that the Stork is a nightclub in New York
