            A
Almost eighteen a lot of sugar and lace.
            D                   A
Almost eighteen with an angel face.
              E
She says I'm her kind of guy.
          D                        E
and if I leave her she'll die uh, huh.

I'll flip upside down and all the way around
I'm acting like a clown because I think I've found
The cream of the crop, I know I'll never stop

Chorus:
D
Full skirt, don't flirt, ballerina shoes.
 B                        E
pin slips, two lips that never sing the blues.

Almost eighteen, a ribbon in her hair
Almost eighteen, my baby's young and fair
Oh-oh, I'll never let her go
Because, oh I love her so, oh-oh

She's gonna have her birthday then we'll run away
We're gonna find a preacher, let him be the teacher
Gonna Honeymoon all through the month of June
Darlin' we'll have time until we're ninety nine,
yeah yeah

Chorus:
Wedding bells gonna ring, we're gonna be together
I love her, she loves me, our love'll live forever

Almost eighteen, she's a swingin' queen
Almost eighteen, oh what a lovely dream
Until the end of time
My baby's mine, all mine, uh-uh

Almost Eighteen
Almost Eighteen
Almost Eighteen
Almost Eighteen
