| Rolf: | |
| You wake, 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, 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 bruees 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 beyond your kin! | |
| 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 naïve. | |
| Fellows I meet | |
| May tell me I'm sweet | |
| And, willingly, I believe! | |
| I am sixteen going on seventeen | |
| Innocent as a rose. | |
| Bacheledandies, 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 kin! | |
| I need someone older and wiser | |
| Telling me what to do! | |
| You are seventeen going on eighteen, | |
| I'll depend on you! |
| Rolf: | |
| You wake, 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, be canny and careful | |
