Almost Eighteen
Roy Orbison
Almost Eighteen:Roy Orbison. Recorded on RCA in 1959. Didn’t chart. Too bad because it’s a good song. (Acoustic guitar.) INTRO: #1. Almost eighteen a lot of sugar and lace. Almost eighteen with an angel face. She says I’m her kind of guy.. and if I leave her she’ll die..uh huh. #2. 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.. I’ll go on lovin’ my baby she’s a grown up lady now. CHORUS: Full skirt don’t flirt ballerina shoes.. pin slips two lips that never sing the blues. #3. Almost eighteen a ribbon in her hair. Almost eighteen my baby’s young and fair. Uh-uh I’ll never let her go..because oh I love her so oh-oh. #4. 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 yea yea. CHORUS: Wedding bells gonna ring we’re gonna be together. I love her she loves me our love’ll live forever. #5. 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-huh. Almost Eighteen.. OUTRO: Almost eighteen..almost eighteen..almost eighteen..(Fade.) A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
