Thirty-one and a half
A one, two, three
Oh

I never knew,
What I could do,
I never had a man of my own,
They used to call me “Shrinking Violet”,
But now they never leave me alone.

Oh, you came along,
Whistling your song,
You stole my heart away from my home,
They used to call me “Shrinking Violet”,
But now they never leave me alone.

Ooh, Tom and Winthrop, 
Percy and Lee,
Couldn’t do what you did so easily,
With what you showed me,
I wanna shout
(Because her lights came on),
(When the lights went out).
Woooh!

Ooh, Tom and Winthrop, 
Percy and Lee,
Couldn’t do what you did so easily,
With what you showed me,
I wanna shout
Because my lights went on,
When the lights went out.

Now can’t you see,
What you send me,
You’ve opened up a new kinda world,
I used to be a “Shrinking Violet”,
But now I’m a fairly motherly girl.
