Growth Spurt Songtext

With whom she didn't know she'd joined
This was a problem 'cause she'd always been
The Queen of hearts -- a spoiled only child

She called her Shirley
She dressed her in the finest clothes
But she was racked with pain
'Cause Shirley had a cuter nose
She saw a doctor and he cut the lump
And smooth the hump
To make her look much better from the side

But things are never quite that simple
They change and stay the same and fade away

Her husband left her
He didn't like her nose at all
And she blamed Shirley
Smashed her tiny head against the wall
The judge and jury watched her as she cried Threw her inside and tossed away the key

15 years later
They let her out for being good
She made a fortune
Carving little figures out of wood
They were all Shirley but they were still and cold
She made and sold them till the day she died
