She says, I'm her kind of guy and if I leave her, she'll die, uh, uh
I'll flip upside down and all the way around
I'm acting like a clown because I think I've found
The cream of the crop, I know I'll never stop
I'll go on lovin' my baby, she's a grown up lady now
Full skirt, don't flirt, ballerina shoes
Pin slips, two lips that never sing the blues
Almost eighteen, a ribbon in her hair
Almost eighteen, my baby's young and fair
0h, oh, I'll never let her go because, oh, I love her so, oh, oh
She's gonna have her birthday then we'll run away
We're gonna find a preacher, let him be the teacher
Gonna honeymoon all through the month of June
Darlin', we'll have a time until we're ninety-nine, yeah, yeah
Wedding bells gonna ring, we're gonna be together
I love her, she loves me, our love'll live forever
Almost eighteen, she's a swingin' queen
Almost eighteen, oh, what a lovely dream
Until the end of time, my baby's mine, all mine, uh, uh
Almost eighteen, almost eighteen, almost eighteen, almost eighteen
Little Richard, pseudonimo di Richard Wayne Penniman (1932-2020), è stato un cantautore, pianista e attore statunitense considerato uno dei pionieri del rock and roll. Nato a Macon, in Georgia, Richard ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale negli anni '40 cantando gospel. Nel 1955, con il suo singolo "Tutti Frutti", ha segnato l'inizio di una nuova era musicale, caratterizzata da ritmi incalzanti, un sound energico e un look eccentrico. La sua influenza sul rock and roll è stata immensa: la sua musica ha ispirato generazioni di artisti e ha contribuito a definire lo stile e l'immagine del genere. Tra i suoi brani più famosi ricordiamo "Long Tall Sally", "Good Golly Miss Molly" e "Rip It Up". Richard ha collaborato con numerosi artisti, tra cui Elvis Presley e The Beatles. La sua carriera è stata segnata da alti e bassi, ma il suo impatto sulla musica rimane innegabile.
