Called myself up on the phone

Took myself to the picture show
Sat myself on the very first row
Put my arms around my waist
Got so fresh I slapped my face
I'm a nut. .

I'm a little N-U-T

I'm as cute as I can be

I can sing and I can dance

I wear ruffles on my (oops, boys, take another guess)

I wear ruffles on my dress.
