Almost Eighteen

[A]

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

[A]I'll flip upside down and all the way around.

I'm acting like a clown because I think I've found,
the [D]cream of the crop, I know I'll never stop..
I'll go on [A]lovin' my baby, she's a grown up lady, [E]now.

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

Almost [A]eighteen, a ribbon in her hair.
Almost [D]eighteen, my baby's young and [A]fair.
Uh-uh, I'll [E]never let her go..because, [D]oh,
I love her so, oh-[E]oh.

She's gonna [A]have her birthday then we'll run away.

We're gonna find a preacher, let him be the teacher.
Gonna [D]Honeymoon all through the month of June..
darlin' [A]we'll have time until we're ninety nine, yea, [E]yea.

[D]Wedding bells gonna ring, we're gonna be together.
[B]I love her, she loves me, our [E]love'll live forever.

Almost [A]eighteen, she's a swingin' queen.
Almost [D]eighteen, oh, what a lovely [A]dream.
Until the [E]end of time my baby's [D]mine, all mine, uh-[E]huh.
Almost [A]Eighteen..
