Jij Bent Nu Zeventien Geworden
Will Tura Lyrics
Jij bent nu 17 geworden
En speelt nog met de teddybeer
Je wiegt hem zachtjes in je armen
Kust hem kust hem steeds weer
Jij bent nu 17 geworden
Dat beertje is je lieveling
Het wordt nu tijd om te verand'ren
Kies een jongen in plaats van dat ding
En wordt mijn meisje
Oh oh ik zeg je keer op keer
Ik ben die jongen
Kus me kus me kus me zoals je teddybeer
Jij bent nu 17 geworden
Nu moet die teddybeer eruit
Want eer je 18 bent geworden
Zal ik je vragen word mijn kleine bruid
Want eer je 18 bent geworden
Zal ik je vragen word mijn kleine bruid
En speelt nog met de teddybeer
Je wiegt hem zachtjes in je armen
Kust hem kust hem steeds weer
Jij bent nu 17 geworden
Dat beertje is je lieveling
Het wordt nu tijd om te verand'ren
Kies een jongen in plaats van dat ding
Oh oh ik zeg je keer op keer
Ik ben die jongen
Kus me kus me kus me zoals je teddybeer
Jij bent nu 17 geworden
Nu moet die teddybeer eruit
Want eer je 18 bent geworden
Zal ik je vragen word mijn kleine bruid
Want eer je 18 bent geworden
Zal ik je vragen word mijn kleine bruid
