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 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 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 naïve 
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.
