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.

Totaly unpreared are you
To face a world of men,
Timid and sky 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.

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 sky 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 eithteen,
I'll depend on you.
