[Verse 1]
Little girl in bloom, with happy heart you wipe aside
Any sadness, sorrow or gloom
Tomorrow you'll be a blushing bride
That loves her blushing groom
[Verse 2]
Little girl in bloom, you watch the men play cricket
From the window in your room
See the ball go from bat to wicket
Pass away the afternoon
[Verse 3]
Little girl in bloom carries a secret
The child she carries in her womb
She feels something sacred
She's gonna be a mammy soon
[Chorus]
When your daddy comes home
Don't tell him till alone
When your daddy comes back
Go tell him the facts
Just relax and see how he's gonna react
[Verse 4]
Little girl in bloom, all the clouds will go drifting by
So sing your lullabying tune
And every word is in your eyes
As you sit and softly croon
[Verse 5]
Little girl in bloom, your love it fills the air
With the scent of the sweetest, sweet perfume
You feel so good you just don't care
[Verse 3]
Little girl in bloom carries a secret
The child she carries in her womb
She feels something sacred
She's gonna be a mammy soon
[Chorus]
When your daddy comes home
Don't tell him till alone
When your daddy comes back
Go tell him the facts
Just relax and see how he's gonna react
