Seventeen, seventeen
Cool and solid seventeen
Young enough to dance and sing
Old enough to get that swing

Past sixteen, done been kissed
Graduated and got that twist
Kind of love I can't resist
At seventeen

Now, sloppy shirt, old blue-jeans
Dirty shoes, by all means
Patch of blonde, peroxide hair
Jukebox baby ain't no square

Seventeen, hot rod queen
Cutest girl you've ever seen
Tell the world I'm really keen
On my hep-cat doll of seventeen


++++++++++


As recorded by THE FONTANE SISTERS:

Seventeen, seventeen
She's a 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 resist
At seventeen

Now sloppy shirt, old blue jeans
Dirty shoes, by all means
Patch of blonde, peroxide hair
Jukebox baby ain't no square

Seventeen, she's the queen
Cutest gal you've ever seen
All the boys are really keen
On the hep-cat doll of seventeen

On my hep-cat doll of seventeen
