Hooray For Our Amelia 

--------------------- 

Hooray for our Amelia 

Stays home to take care of the babies 

While her mother is at work 

She's 12 now 

Going on 13 

Pretends she doesn't see the neighbors 

Shake their heads 

They will say, 

"You ought to be in school 

You ought to be at play 

You ought to be with other children 

Nearer to your age" 

She puts the twins to sleep 

And sits down to her dream 

She's Amelia of the Camelot 

The prince is on his way 

She knows what she is missing 

But she reads a lot 

To catch up with the girl down the street 

The laundry, the dinner, the dishes and some things 

She is well ahead of the game 

"You ought to be in school, Amelia 

You ought to be at play, Amelia 

You ought to be with other children 

Nearer to your age" 

She's Amelia of the stars 

Amelia of the moon 

She's Amelia of the Camelot 

She's all of them today 

Amelia of the stage 

Amelia of the stars 

She's Amelia of the Camelot 

Raised on planet Mars 

Three cheers for our star 

Hip, hip and hooray 

Amelia of the kitchen 

And the nursery
