INTRO:
#1.
Seventeen, seventeen, cool and solid seventeen.
Young enough to dance and sing..
old enough to get that swing.
Past sixteen just been kissed..
graduated and got that twist.
Kind of love I can t re...sist..
at seventeen.
CHORUS:
Now, sloppy shirt, old blue jeans..
dirty shoes, by all means.
Patch of blonde, peroxide hair..
jukebox baby ain t no square.
#2.
Seventeen, hot-rod queen.
Cutest girl you ve ever seen.
Tell the world I m really keen,
On my hep-cat doll of sev..en..teen.
