Seventeen:The Fontaine Sisters.
Topped the charts in 1956.
(Capo 6th fret.)
#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 you 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, she's the queen.
Cutest gal you've ever seen.
All the boys are really keen,
On my hep cat doll of sev..en..teen.
CHORUS:
Now, sloppy shirt, old blue jeans,
Dirty shoes, by all means.
Patch of blonde, peroxide hair,
Jukebox baby ain't no square.
#3.
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 you 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.
#4.
Seventeen, she's the queen.
Cutest gal you've ever seen.
Tell the world I'm really keen,
On my hep cat doll of sev..en..teen.
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
