At seventeen, I'm a dancing queen
The business on the street
Nine to five, I stay alive
Surviving from the heat, wooh!
Rock'n'roll was in my soul
From my hat down to my shoes
But when I reach the big one-eight, will I still be news?
Ooh, seventeen, seventee, wooh!
Seventeen and holding
Keep the days, keep the days
Keep the days a-rolling
Seventeen, seventeen and holding,
Seventeen, seventeen and holding, wooh-ooh!
My parents said there ain't no way
I'd knock you off your seat
When my birthday rolls around
They'd be dancin' on the street
Ooh, rock'n'roll was in my soul
From my hat down to my shoes
But when I reach the big one-eight, will I still be news?
Ooh, seventeen, seventee, wooh!
Seventeen and holding
Keep the days, keep the days
Keep the days a-rolling
Seventeen, seventeen and holding,
Seventeen, seventeen and holding, wooh-ooh!
(Bop, bop, bop-shoo-wop) ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
(Bop, bop, bop-shoo-wop) rollin', honey, and roll
You gotta roll my shoes on the floor
You gotta dig that spot, dig, dig and rollin', ah, oh!
