F#m        A Asus4 A Bm
You said you'd marry me if I was twenty three
                  A         E  F#m
But I'm one that you can't see if I'm only eighteen
           A Asus4 A
Tell me who made these rules
Bm
Obviously not you
Bm          A   E     F#m
Who are you answering to?

Chorus:
F#m                 A
Oh, Jenny don't be hasty
                   Bm    F#m
No, don't treat me like a baby
D                             A
Let me take you where you'll let me
                 Bm   F#m      D
Because leaving just upsets me
(Ohhh yeah. Ohhh oh oh oh)

An' I'll be around again to see these other men
That are more adequate in the age department
I did not think you cared
There'd be no problems here
But now you're looking at me like you're
disgusted and I'm

Definitely waiting for you to smile and
change your mind
Then I'll say "I'm sorry" and I'll wrap
my arms 'round your body
I really hope that you forgive in a hurry
And don't just ask me to leave

Chorus:
F#m                 A
Oh, Jenny don't be hasty
                   Bm    F#m
No, don't treat me like a baby
D                             A
Let me take you where you'll let me
                 Bm   F#m     D
Because leaving just upsets me
                    A
Oh, Jenny you are crazy!
                    Bm      F#m
First I'm perfect, then I'm lazy
D                         A
And I was calling you my baby
E                           Bm
Now it sounds like you just left me.
D             E
And it kills me!
(So Woo Hoo Hoo)

Oh, Jenny don't be hasty
No, don't treat me like a baby
Let me take you where you'll let me
Because leaving just upsets me
Oh, Jenny you are crazy
First I'm perfect, then I'm lazy
And I was calling you my baby
Now it sounds like you've just left me
And it kills me
Oh, yeah

You said you'd marry me if I was 23
But I'm one that you can't see if I'm only 18
