Sixteen going on seventeen
|
|
Rolf
|
You wait little girl on an empty stage
|
For fate will turn the light on
|
Your life little girl is an empty page
|
That men will want to write on
|
Liesl
|
To write on
|
Rolf
|
You are sixteen going on seventeen
|
Baby, it's time to think
|
Better beware, be canny and careful
|
Baby, you're on the brink
|
You are sixteen going on seventeen
|
Fellows will fall in line
|
Eager young lads and rogues and cads
|
Will offer you food and wine
|
Totally unprepared are you to face a world of men
|
Timid and shy and scared are you
|
Of things behond your ken
|
You need someone older and wiser telling you what to do
|
I am seventeen going on eighteen
|
I'll take care of you
|
Liesl
|
I am sixteen going on seventeen
|
I know that I'm naive
|
Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet
|
And willingly I believe
|
I am sixteen going on seventeen
|
Innocent as a rose
|
Bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies
|
What do I know of those
|
Totally unprepared am I to face a world of men
|
Timid and shy and scared am I
|
Of things beyond my ken
|
I need someone older and wiser telling me what to do
|
You are seventeen going on eighteen
|
I'll depend on you
|
