Ain't no hurry to be eighteen, listen carefully
You become liable for everything that's fun
They can force you into wedding bells
If your girlfriend gets too fat
What ya think of that?
Life's a scream at eighteen!
Stay away from me, I can do anything now
No one can prosecute me, I'm a juvenile
I got manly needs, ways and means
I can do anything now
No one can prosecute me, I'm a juvenile
Ain't no hurry to be eighteen, listen carefully
Once you get there you must pay for your mistakes
They can throw you in the pokey
If the cigarette you're smoking
Don't cause lung cancer or choking
Nice and green seventeen!
Stay away from me, I can do anything now
No one can prosecute me, I'm a juvenile
I got manly needs, ways and means
I can do anything now
No one can prosecute me, I'm a juvenile
Ain't no hurry to be eighteen, listen carefully
When that time arrives you're free to become a slave
If you get a job it's bosses
If it's the army then it's causes
If you're out of work it's horses
Life's real mean from eighteen!
Stay away from me, I can do anything now
No one can prosecute me, I'm a juvenile
I got manly needs, ways and means
I can do anything now
No one can prosecute me, I'm a juvenile
[Verse 1]
Ain't no hurry to be eighteen, listen carefully
You become liable for everything that's fun
They can force you into wedding bells
If your girlfriend gets too fat
What ya think of that?
Life's a scream at eighteen!
[Chorus]
Stay away from me, I can do anything now
No one can prosecute me, I'm a juvenile
I got manly needs, ways and means
I can do anything now
No one can prosecute me, I'm a juvenile
[Verse 2]
Ain't no hurry to be eighteen, listen carefully
Once you get there you must pay for your mistakes
They can throw you in the pokey
If the cigarette you're smoking
Don't cause lung cancer or choking
Nice and green seventeen!
[Chorus]
Stay away from me, I can do anything now
No one can prosecute me, I'm a juvenile
I got manly needs, ways and means
I can do anything now
No one can prosecute me, I'm a juvenile
[Verse 3]
Ain't no hurry to be eighteen, listen carefully
When that time arrives you're free to become a slave
If you get a job it's bosses
If it's the army then it's causes
If you're out of work it's horses
Life's real mean from eighteen!
[Chorus]
Stay away from me, I can do anything now
No one can prosecute me, I'm a juvenile
I got manly needs, ways and means
I can do anything now
No one can prosecute me, I'm a juvenile
