Its A Great Big World

Lyrics：Johnny Mercer Music：Harry Warren
Artist：Judy Garland/Virginia Obrien/Betty Russell
Chorus 1：
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 cant understand it, my hair is all curled,
But my goodness me, its a great big world.
And its cold, cold, cold,
And well soon be old.
Alas and alack, its a great big world.
Chorus 2:
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,
Some likely chap might forget my face,
I cant understand it, Ive knitted and purled ,
But my goodness me, its a great big world.
And its cold, cold, cold,
And well soon be old.
Alas and alack, its a great big world.
Chorus 3:
I had no petticoat trimmed with lace,
My angel cake was a pure disgrace,
My face was my fortune, my mother said,
And my dancing slippers of bright, bright red.
A million miles I have danced, or more,
In hopes Prince Charming would cross the floor,
I cant understand it, Ive waltzed and Ive whirled,
But my goodness me its a great big world.
And its cold, cold, cold,
And well soon be old.
But Ill keep on knitting and doing it well,
My slippers are one thing I never will sell,
My petticoats waiting because who can tell?
Its a great big world, its a great big world.
