They'll be cruel
But cover up your ears and don't listen
Because you'll know much better than them
'Cause they don't see you like I see you
Put your red coat on
'Cause you'll know much better than them
Some day, some day
All the pretty princes will see you
Put your pretty dress on
Some day, some day
The nice little girl whose grown up
And they'll wave to you
Put your pretty dress on
If it gets dark don't get scared
And they'll wave to you
And they'll wave to you
And all the pretty princes will see you
Put your red boots on
There's so much waiting for you
And walk with a light in the woods
It's time for you to walk home from school
To become homecoming queen
And they'll wave to you
And they'll wave to you
And they'll wave to you
Cover up your tears and don't show them
Put your red coat on
Put your red boots on
And they'll wave to you
Tie your hair in ribbons and lace
Everyone will laugh, they'll point fingers at you
Put your pretty dress on
And we'll wave to you
Put your pretty dress on
Put your red coat on
Put your red boots on
If they did, they'd see
And wear pearls 'round your neck
And they'll wave to you
Some day, some day
Put your red boots on
And we'll wave to you
