Recorded in 1957 and released the following year for America’s Little
Miss Dynamite Brenda Lee (born Brenda Mae Tappley) at the ripe old age of
14 years old. Tab by bass50611. Not exact bassline as I see it.
Great rock n roll song from the 4’ 9” Little Miss Dynamite.

Oh well I’m old enough to Chicken and old enough to rock the bop...

Oh, well I'm old enough to kick
And old enough to rock a the bop
Oh, well I'm old enough to kick
And old enough to rock a the bop
I got on my swinging jeans and looking for a dream
Cause I'm old enough to rock the bop
I like the sax when it starts to scream man
I'm gone and I dig the scene
The drummer in the band is a setting the beat
And I'm setting here with a itchy feet
Well, I'm old enough to kick
And old enough to rock the bop
Well, I'm old enough to kick
And old enough to rock the bop
I got on my rocking shoes
And I'm rocking to the blues cause
I'm old enough to rock the bop
Little Billy cram, just caught my eye
Duck tail flying as he bopped by
Little Willie crew cut is sitting by me
But he's so dumb, that he can't see
Well, I'm old enough to kick
And old enough to rock a the bop
Well, I'm old enough to kick
And old enough to rock the bop
I got on my swinging jeans and looking for a dream
Cause I'm old enough to rock a bop
