Innocence Mission - Hooray For Our Amelia lyrics

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
