Sweet young thing of sixteen 

Thought I'd step out one night 

I longed to get the thrilling life i've missed


I met a youth 

A bit uncouth 

Although he seemed alright 

I knew him by the moment when we kissed 



Then I got home, next day with a swollen head


My girlfriend asked if i'd had fun I said, 

“was I drunk? 

was he handsome? 

Did momma give me hell? 

Did I get a thrill? 

Am I full of quiver? 

Was he rough? 

Did I care? 

Am I glad I fell? 

Every time I think of him do I shiver? 

Was he hot? 

And was I? 

And would he stand for maybe? 

He would not? 

Did I lie? 

Does he still think i'm a baby? 

If I was, am I still? 

Do I care? 

Don't be silly 

Was I drunk? 

Was he handsome? 

And did momma give me hell? 



Was I drunk? 

Was he handsome? 

Did momma give me hell? 

With his hands loose as no refusin' 

Did he fight? 

Was I blue? 

Almost shamed to tell 

And I don't know yet the system he was usin' 



Well I said, stop, please, behave! 

Well what's the use of breathin'? 

He said, give 

So I gave 

After all, what was I savin'? 

Am I glad? 

Holy gee, 

Have I had fun, you're askin' me? 

Was I drunk? 

Was he handsome? 

And did momma give me hell?
