Seventeen (Reprise) [Original West End Cast Recording]

Listen up folks
War is over
Brand new sheriff's come to town
We are done with acting evil
We will lay our weapons down
We're all damaged, we're all frightened
We're all freaks but that's alright
We'll endure it, we'll survive it
Martha, are you free tonight?

What?

Um, my date for the pep rally kind of blew
Me off
So, I was wondering, if you weren't doing anything tonight
Maybe we could pop some Jiffy Pop and rent a video
Something with a happy ending

Are there any happy endings?

I can't promise no more Heathers
High school may not ever end
Still, I miss you, I'd be honored
If you'd let me be your friend

My friend

We can be seventeen
We can learn how to chill
If no one loves me now
Someday somebody will
We can be seventeen
Still time to make things right
One day we'll change the world

But let's kick back tonight (and ya know, ya know)
Let's go be seventeen (ya know, you can be beautiful)
Take off our clothes and dance (ya know, ya know)
Act like we're all still kids (ya know)
'Cause this could be our final chance! (Ya know)
Always be seventeen (ya know, ya know, you can be beautiful)
Celebrate you and I (ya know, ya know, ya know)
Maybe we won't grow old
And maybe then we'll never die

We'll make it beautiful
We'll make it beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful
