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 out 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 

[Chorus:]
And it's a 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 
A 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! 

[Chorus]

I had no petticoat trimmed with lace 
My angel cake was a sure disgrace 
My face was my fortune, my mother said 
And my dancing slippers of bright, bright red. 

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. 

[Chorus x 2]

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.
