Sometimes, yes sometimes I wish I were a boy I've been standing by the jukebox Hoping he'd ask me to dance How I wish I could run to him and hug him But a girl mustn't make an advance Oh, I'm a girl and it's wonderful It fills my heart with joy But sometimes, yes sometimes I wish I were a boy Oh, he's dancing with another And he's holding her so tight Wish I had nerve to cut right in and stop it But a girl has to be polite Ohh, I'm a girl and it's wonderful It fills my heart with joy But sometimes, yes sometimes I wish I were a boy Now the record hop is over And I think he caught my eye Here he comes heading straight in my direction There he goes, he's passing me by Ohh, I'm a girl and it's wonderful It fills my heart with joy But sometimes, yes sometimes I wish I were a boy Sometimes, yes sometimes I wish I were a boy Sometimes, yes sometimes I wish I were a boy Sometimes, yes sometimes I wish I were a boy
