Seventeen
The Fontane Sisters
Written by John Young Jr., Chuck Gorman, and Boyd Bennett
Peaked at # 3 in 1955
(Pop cover version of co-songwriter Boyd Bennett's
Top 5 rock hit from a few months earlier)
Seventeen, seventeen, she's a solid seventeen
Young enough to dance and sing
Old enough to get that swing
Passed 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, p'roxide 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
Repeat all
