Sixteen Going On Seventeen

In the style of

The Sound Of Music (Movie Version)

Lyrics

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
to write on

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 roues 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

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 kin

i need someone
older and wiser
telling me what to do
you are seventeen
going on eighteen
i'll depend on you
