If I Was a Boy

If I Was a Boy - Eartha Kitt

If I was a boy I'd know the things

A girl shouldn't know

I'd go where girls shouldn't go

So oh so girls shouldn't so

If I was a boy

I'd had come of age a long time ago

It would be a joy if I was a boy

If I was a boy

I'd do so much a girl can't explain

I'd pack and catch me a train

Go out and raise me some Cain

If I was a boy

There'd be some use in having a brain

It would be a joy just to be a boy

There is such a lot a girl is got to cope with

There are times I think I'm busting at the seams

But as long as I have something left to hope with

I still have my dreams

If I was a boy

I'd have no wings like girls seem to sprout

Learn things that girls seem to doubt

Spread my activities out

If I was a boy

I'd know what all the shouting's about

It would be a joy just to be a boy

There is such a lot a girl is got to cope with

There are times I think I'm busting at the seams

But as long as I have something left to hope with

I still have my dreams

If I was a boy

I'd have no wings like girls seem to sprout

Learn things that girls seem to doubt

Spread my small activities out

If I was a boy

I'd know what all the shouting's about

It would be a joy

Just to be a boy

Doggone it if I was only a boy

The things I wouldn't do

I'd take a trip to
