Sixteen Going on Seventeen (a song from sound of music)
if you want the lyrics http://web.kyoto-inet.or.jp/people/yosiko/kashi/16-17.html
if you want the song, sorry, cant find it.
Rolf:
You wait little girl, on an empty stage
For fate to turn the light on
Your life little girl, is an empty stage
That men will want to write on.
(Liesl echoes "To write on")
You are 16, going on 17
Baby, it's time to think
Better beware, be canny and careful
Baby, you're on the brink
You are 16, going on 17
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 thinks beyond your ken
You need someone older and wiser
Telling you what to do
I am 17 going on 18
I'll take care of you
Liesl:
I am 16 going on 17
I know that I'm naive
Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet
And willingly I believe
I am 16 going on 17
Innocent as a rose
Bachelor dandies, drinker 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 17 going on 18
I'll depend on you
