Lyrics
Hey there, pretty girl, your mother must be proud
You're such a little lady in that frilly dress
So put away the G.I. Joes and show us all your primmest post
Don't you know you've won the role of princess?
And what more could you wish for, pretty girl
A sewing kit, a violin, a doll that calls you mama
Everyone can see that yours will be the easy life
So try to smile once in a while
Oh, look, pretty girl, you've drawn such a crowd
You're an angel and a siren in that snow-white dress
But hurry to the altar now, no silly second thoughts allowed
Think of how they'll envy Mrs. Perfect
And what more could you wish for, pretty girl
A giant ring, a handsome man, a mansion in the Hamptons
Everyone can see that yours will be the easy life
So try to smile going down the isle
Has it really been ten years already
Five kids later, you're no less pretty
And by my eye you haven't gained one dress size
And what more could you wish for, pretty girl
A perfect look, a perfect life, a perfect reputation
Everyone can see that yours will be the easy life
So try to smile, try to smile
