When a girl changes from bobby sox to stockings
And she starts trading her baby toys for boys
When that once-shy little sleepyhead

Learns about love and it's lilt
You can bet that the change
Is more than from cotton to silk


If a miss wants to be kissed instead of cuddled
And to this you are in doubt as what to say

When a girl changes from bobby sox to stockings
Then she's old enough to give her heart away


When a girl changes from bobby sox to stockings
And she starts trading her baby toys for boys
When that once-shy little sleepyhead

Learns about love and it's lilt
You can bet that the change
Is more than from cotton to silk


If a miss wants to be kissed instead of cuddled
And to this you are in doubt as what to say

When a girl changes from bobby sox to stockings
Then she's old enough to give her heart away


Yes, she's old enough to give her heart away
