You are six-teen go-ing on sev-en-teen
Bab-y, it's time to think
Bet-ter be-ware, be can-ny and care-ful
Bab-y, you're on the brink
You are six-teen go-ing on sev-en-teen
Fel-lows will fall in line
Ea-ger young lads and ro-ues and cads
Will of-fer you food and wine
To-tal-ly un-pre-pared are you
To face a world of men
Tim-id and shy and scared are you
Of things be-yond your ken
You need some-one old-er and wis-er
Tel-ling you what to do
I am sev-en-teen go-ing on eigh-teen
I'll take care of you
