I just don’t get it
Why do I have to be a young lady?
Why do I have to sit,
and be a lady.

All I want to do is write,
And be published too
I’m smart enough right?
What else do I need to do?

Aunt March says I need to be married
I think not.
Can’t I just remain unmarried
I can support myself with freedom of thought.

Laurie is the one for me I like him now a lot
But when he asked me to marry him I said not now
I should have said yes on second thought
Why didn’t I make that vow

Meg is horribly sick
I don’t know what I would do with out her
Papa is sick as well everything goes by so quick
But papa is coming home now which I much prefer


Meg is married now, and Amy is in Europe
Now it is just Beth and I at home
Beth is as sad as a pup
Oh I wish I could just freely roam

I’m finally published
But I left Beth at home while I live in New York
When I return Beth is paler than before
So we went to the seashore, where Beth tells me she will soon die

Beth passed away
And I have stopped writing my fantasys
Laurie and Amy are married now which leaves me all alone
I am very lonely at home by myself

Mr. Bhaer, a man I met in New York, came to visit me
Whatever could this mean.
He asked to come again
Of course I said yes.

Mr.Bhaer asked me to marry him today.
Of course I said yes
I have decide to write again
I think I will write a novel

Where ever we go
And whatever we do
We will always be
“Little women”
