[F] _ _ _ [Bbm] I was twelve years _ _ old, _ _ [B] it was a very good _ year. _ _ _
[Bbm] Yes, that's me back in [Db] 1956, the year I started making [B] records.
Look at me.
Who would have dreamed that [Bb] such a short, chubby [F] little girl,
in less than a dozen years, [Cm] would blossom into such a short, chubby little woman?
[Bb] Ain't nature wonderful?
_ [B] _ _ _ _
[Bbm] When I was seventeen, _ _ _ _ [B] it was a very good _ _ year.
_ [Bbm] _ In 1959, [Db] my manager booked me an engagement in Paris.
The French [B] promoter was afraid that the [F] Parisians might not be too [Eb] interested in child performers.
[Dm] So he and my manager cooked up a rumor that I was really [F] a thirty-two year old midget.
[Ab] Worked great.
My manager got me great [Bbm] publicity,
the [G] promoter did [Dm] terrific business,
[Bb] and I've got the [G] largest collection [B] of French midget [B] phone numbers you [Bbm] ever saw.
_ Now [Bbm] I'm twenty-three, _ _ _ [B] and it's a very good _ year. _ _ _
Yes, here I am, an old lady of twenty [Db]-three.
I guess I ought to step gracefully [Gb] aside and make room for the younger talent,
but [F] you know us old [B]-timers, [Dm] never know when to quit.
So [D] until I sign my [N] contract with that big recording company in the sky,
[Db] there's only one way I know how.
