SIXTEEN AND READY - Svenskt text här
She grew up in the heart of Chicago
Her father was a doctor-of-law
Her sister was a mister and her brother was a ma'm
and her Old Lady lived on Veuve Cliquot
She ran away one morning in April
rode along the highway in may
was a-wheelin' and a-dealin'
with the driver at the wheel
and what the hell was he supposed to say
She's sixteen and ready and willing to go
Her ability is knocking on your door
Sixteen and ready and dying to show
you her tricks and maybe learn some more
She got a job at Seven-Eleven
taking care of business at night
Met Alice out of Dallas and Marie from Tennessee
and boy they showed her how to do it right
She's sixteen and ready and willing to go
Her ability is knocking on your door
Sixteen and ready and dying to show
you her tricks and maybe learn some more
She bought herself a white Monte Carlo
kept picking up the boys at Van Nuys
They took her for a hooker
and they used her and abused her
and her heart was growing cold as ice
She's sixteen and ready and willing to go
Her ability is knocking on your door
Sixteen and ready and dying to show
you her tricks and maybe learn some more
