(Male)
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
(Female)
To write on
(Male)
You are 16 going on 17
Baby its time to think
Better beware
Be canny and careful
Baby you’re on the brink
You are 16 going on 17
Fellows will fall in line
Eager young lads
And grueways and cads
Will offer you fruit 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 17 going on 18
I’ll take care of you
(Female)
I am 16 going on 17
I know that i’m naive
Fellows I meet may tell me I’m sweet
And willingly I believe
I am 16 going on 17 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 17 going on 18
I’ll depend on you

This was great ….not the usual stuff ….really liked your performance Sai and Jhanvee.

a different and nice pick and very very nicely done toobrought the movie images to my mind :)Sai – you sounded very good – voice & diction were perfect for this genre, as usual – higher notes i thought could be a notch better… thought there was a bit of a strain at someone, do and I’ll. But then am being picky :))!
Janhavee – very sweet rendition and i really liked your performance.
Overall a great piece, both of you. 5 from me. Do give us more of such classics…!

what a better way to recollect the old cute moment Sai &J’vee :-)you sound “simply sweet”-By this I mean,No modern expensive sweet can ever replace my old Kadalai Mittai(Chikki)and this rendition of yours gives me that kind of sweetness….thanks

Wow great job with this! Kept the playful spirit of the original without sacrificing your own flair. Super job! (and I could understand the lyrics yay me! :-) )

said
Lovely!The musical is one of my favorite!Nice diction and well kept the mod of the song.High pitches and bigger jumpings from lower to higher notes were not perfect-but after all a very good and unusual rendition from you!
Music has no boundaries !

Rajeev Onv(away on a long break) said
Janhavee and Sai, you have taken me back to my school days when this movie and its songs were a rage! Enjoyed mostly the nostalgic feeling it created. Some minor pointers which I would like to discount and give you full credit for your singing. Janhavee, listening to you for the first time. Impressed by your voice.
Keep singing!
