Broadway Musicals - The Sound Of Music- Sixteen Going On Seventeen текст песни

ROLF

You wait, little girl, on an empty stage

For fate to 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 and canny and careful

Baby, you're on the brink



You are sixteen going on seventeen

Fellows will fall in line

Eager young lads and roues and cads

Offer you food and wine



Totally unprepared are you

To face a world of men

Timid and shy and scared are you

Of things beyond your ken



You'll 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 seventeen

I know that I'm naive

Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet

And willingly I believe



I am sixteen going 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!
