the maiden's day is coming
the candles will be lit
the boxes will be wrapped
in bows and pretty paper
and everyone will have cake
bouquets of icing roses
will sate the greedy masses
and I will be in the spotlight
pretty dress
hair a mess
a goddess dancing madly
in a bacchanalian sport
where has my tiara gone?
it's tangled in my hair
the chandelier mocks me
sending little rainbows
to frolic on the walls
this revelry is all for me
maiden
goddess
decadent queen
and like a fancy bird
I'll preen and smile for the camera
I am a woman now
I roar a guttural cry
of absolute ecstasy
my scraped knees are mended
lollipops become martinis
I throw Dolly to the curb
I am a woman now
and I like it
