My first date, a dark’haired babe named Marianne
all the girls were crazy at me, at that time
a lot of sweet girls were knocking at the door
asking me for dating them
but dad and specially mum
mostly said no
this one was allowed by mum
because it was her best friend
she was from Aalborg
she was only 18, but sweet
I was almost a quarter-year old
and I was crazy about her
she made me smile and laugh
…
both her mother and father were dentists
but it didn’t scare me
I hadn’t any teeth yet
it ain’t easy to date a girl nearly 18
it isn’t allowed to go dancing in the night
they were talking about ‘not old enough’
but she was nearly 18
so what’s the problem
so mostly we visit the baker Poulsen’s shop
…
but the age between us did grow above our heads
and she found a man on her own age
