Wouldn't it be nice to be a heroine,   Cool and slinky with an appropriate smile?    Honey, I take sugar, two.   While he's ranting an' raving,   Could you pass that cream?    I was looking to have a cupa tea.   Instead I freeze.      Seeing his next move, is it grabbing my hair?    Or bushing my tush till there's no scream left?    Wouldn't it be nice to be a heroine?    Wouldnit-wouldnit?    Wouldnit-wouldnit?    Wouldnit-wouldnit?    Wouldnit?       Mm -      Wouldn't it be nice to be a hero,   Standing fast and easy with an appropriate grin?    Brother, not that way, they'll take you away.   Mm, give me your gun,   It's no use to anyone.   Instead I freeze.      Seeing if I shut up and stay real still,   Maybe he won't kill, at least not me.   Wouldn't it be nice to be a hero?    Wouldnit-wouldnit?    Wouldnit-wouldnit?    Wouldnit-wouldnit?    Wouldnit?       Mm -      Wouldn't it be nice to be a star,   Shinin' and sparklin', looking down the whole and plenty?    Being looked up with a telescope   While my sister's busy cutting the rope.   Daddy, you can't touch me,   Mommy, you can't hate me,   I'm a star, get it?    Instead I froze.      And I let them, I let them,   I let them pick my brain,   Twist my arm,   Cut my throat   And wish me dead.   But I'm still thinking,   Wouldn't it be nice to be a star?    Wouldnit-wouldnit?    Wouldnit-wouldnit?    Wouldnit-wouldnit?    Wouldnit?
