Used to be a major scale But the melody went stale Musical cacophony let Eensy Weensy spider free You're a rich little boy Who's had to work for his toys You've got all the sensibilities Of an upper class guy No I'm not your little slave No I don't twist and turn that way Only got bad things to say You're always asking what is up, up with me Could never tell you what happened The day I turned seventeen The rise of a king and the fall of a queen Seventeen, seventeen (same chords as verse 1) Oh, you are embarrassed of me Cos I use my tongue freely Bet you wish I couldn't speak Cos when I do, you know I tell you why you're being weak You want a hassle free life Go get your upper class wife Oh, she's got all the personality Of a lemon that has been Truly sucked dry You teach me how to behave I felt you question the way I was brought up as a baby Well you don't know fuck about my family Could never tell you what happened The day I turned seventeen The rise of a king and the fall of a queen Seventeen, seventeen Never fell down like a princess I used to kid myself in this stress That it was just how things Were meant to be Oh, seventeen, seventeen. (original last verse) Never fell down like a princess But at least I picked myself up like a queen
