Lyrics of It's a great big world

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 off in the wide, wide world

I dreamed of gentlemen i would meet
I saw them all kneeling at my feet
I can't understand it, my hair is all curled
But my goodness me, it's a great big world

And it's cold, cold, cold and we'll soon be old
Alas and a lack, it's a great big world

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 learn to forget my face
I can't understand it, i've knitted and pearled
But my goodness me it's a great big world

And it's cold, cold, cold and we'll soon be old
Alas and a lack, it's a great big world

A million miles i've danced or more
In hopes prince charming would cross the floor
I can't understand it, i've waltzed and i've whirled
But my goodness me, it's a great big world

And it's cold, cold, cold and we'll soon be old
Alas and a lack, it's a great big world

But i'll keep on knitting and doing it well
My slippers are one thing i never will sell
My petticoat's waiting because who can tell?
It's a great big world, it's a great big world
