A
When a girl reach the age of 18
She begins to think she is grown
And that is the kind of little girl
You can never find at home

Chorus:
          D
Come and see me, early in the morning,
                         A
just about the break o’ day
     E
And see me hug my pillow –
D                       A
where my baby used to lay

One drink of wine
Two drinks of gin
Pretty young got me
In the shape I am in

Chorus

I pass by the Juke joint
Look through the door
She is doing the boogie-woogie
In the middle of the floor

Chorus

When a girl reach the age of 18
She begins to think she is grown
And that is the kind of little girl
You can never find at home
