Just About 17

I'm about seventeen I guess

I read what the calendar said

but I'm not about to drop dead

I just happened on the scene

and since I wake up in the morning

and I love the world

like a boy like a boy

chasin his first girl

what do numbers mean?

I'm about seventeen

let's get to the program

wang dang do dang

wang dang do dang

just about seventeen

i say

wang dang do dang

wang dang do dang

just about seventeen

and since I still want to laugh

and I still want to go

and since you still can't beat me

for rock and roll

what do numbers mean?

I'm about seventeen

I say I'm about seventeen

yeah I know I read what the calendar said

but my heart is not yet dead

in fact I'm just showin up here on the scene

and since I walk down your street

with a certain joy

usually found in a girl

kissing her first boy

what do numbers mean?

I'm about seventeen

wang dang do dang

it still sounds so strange

I wake up and I know

that I havent changed
