ALMOST GROWN






Yeah 'n' I'm doin' all right in school.

They ain't said I broke no rule.

I ain't never been in Dutch.

I don't browse around too much.

Don't bother me, leave me alone.

Anyway I'm almost grown.

30 Days (June 1, 2011) (Chuck Berry)









I'm gonna give you 30 Days to get back home
I done talked to the gypsy woman on the telephone
She gonna send out a World-Wide Hoodoo
That'll be the very thing that'll suit you
 I'm gonna see that you be back home in 30 days

Oh -- 30 Days (30 Days!)
Oh  -- 30 Days (30 Days!)
I'm gonna see that you be back home in 30 Days






 

I done talked to the Judge in private early this Morning
And He took me to the Sheriff's office to sign a warrant
Gonna put a false charge again' Ya 
That'll be the very thing that'll send Ya
I'm gonna see that you be back home in 30 Days






Oh  -- 30 Days (30 Days!)
Oh  -- 30 Days (30 Days!)
I'm gonna see that you be back home in 30 Days 









If I don't get no satisfaction from the Judge
I'm gonna take it to the FBI and voice my grudge
If they don't give me no consolation
I'm gonna take it to the United Nations
I'm gonna see that you be back home in 30 Days
