Playing Dress Up
Copyright Alice E. Steimle - 2003
I'm your little Sister; you made that known so well
Many times you cursed me, telling me to go to h---
Sorry I couldn't do that, cause you were on my mind
I had to stick around some, cause I was a different kind

Remember all the times we dressed up and acted old
How we couldn't wait for that day to have and hold
You were always the lady, but I was a tom boy
We had so much laughter; the fun was such a joy
We both loved music, being it Elvis or Boone
We'd play those records from morning till noon
How we drove our parents quite insane
To them it wasn't music; it wasn't the same

How we struggled with piano, and then came the song
We'd sing sometime together, having fun all along
You sang Alto, with me singing high
We could do anything, from morning till nigh
We shared our secrets, and shared our ice cream
Think about all those things that we would dream
Hate to tell ya, Sis, that couldn't last
It was just something that we did, we had a blast

From marriages to having our babies dear
How you cried when Andrew came near
Your baby sister became a mother over night
Did that make you happy, or scare you to fright
All those crazy diets, from Grapefruit to Slim Fast
The weight we lost, it was something from the past
No more playing dress up, since we are growing old
It's the way of life, or so I am told

Yet, we kept our laughter, and all that fun
Tell me, dear Sister, just when it begun
From playhouse to doll house, we did it all
I wouldn't trade it for anything; just let those chips fall
