Sound of Music: Rolf and Liesl Lyrics by Saturday Night Live

2020

[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
[Rolf, spoken]
That's true!
[Liesl]
You are seventeen going on eighteen
[Rolf]
Actually, I'm thirty-three
[Liesl, spoken]
Wait, what?
[Rolf]
I know I look young
And I said I'm young
But I lied I'm thirty-three
[Liesl, spoken]
You're thirty-three? But, you ride a bicycle
[Rolf, spoken]
Well, that's because I'm very poor, darling
[Liesl, spoken]
And you live with your mother
[Rolf, spoken]
Wow, she's got a list. Look, you're only as old as you feel
Liesl, do you know what statutory means?
[Liesl, spoken]
Umm... No
[Rolf, spoken]
It means I looked it up and we are on the right side of the cusp
[Liesl, spoken]
I don't know, Rolf. It's a pretty big age difference and, I don't want to say this, but there's rumors that you're maybe a Nazi, maybe...
[Rolf, spoken]
Focus on the age stuff
[Liesl, spoken]
Well, I don't know if I can trust you
[Rolf]
Don't be dramatic
It's not a great look
Trust me I know what guys like
[Liesl]
But I am sixteen
[Rolf]
And I am thirty-eight
I've had some birthdays since we started talking
[Liesl, spoken]
What? Thirty-eight? I thought you said you were thirty-three
[Rolf, spoken]
Oh, let me explain
[Rolf]
I am thirty-three
Next month I'll be thirty-nine
Baby, I'm forty-one
[Liesl, spoken]
Rolf!
[Rolf, spoken]
Liesl! I know you're freaked out but this is Austria nineteen-thirty-bad. In a few months this will be the least of your worries
[Liesl, spoken]
You keep saying stuff like that
[Rolf, spoken]
Can I help it that I'm attracted to you? You're so mature and sophisticated
[Liesl, spoken]
Really? You think I seem older?
[Rolf, spoken]
Yes. What with the complaining and those hefty naturals, honestly, when I first came to the house I thought you were the mom
[Liesl, spoken]
Oh, I don't know. You're a geriatric telegram boy and I'm rich and good with puppets, so you do the math
[Rolf, spoken]
I know I'm not perfect, but I've talked to mother and I'm moving out
[Liesl, spoken]
Really? You bought a house?
[Rolf, spoken]
No, I rented, with roommates
[Rolf]
Fritz and Hans
And Kevin and Gerbils
And four other guys named Hans
[Liesl, spoken]
That's a lot of Nazis, but I still don't know how I feel about dating an older guy
[Rolf, spoken]
Oh, Liesl. Age is just a number that the government keeps track of. For example:
[Rolf]
I am forty-six
[Liesl]
That's older than my father
[Rolf]
Damn, how sexy is that
[Liesl]
I do like attention
And not to mention
My brain's
Not totally formed
[Rolf, spoken]
Oh, Liesl. I like that so much
[Maria, spoken]
That's he!
[Gaylord Von Trapp, spoken]
Stop it at once!
[Liesl, spoken]
Papa!
[Rolf, spoken]
Oh, hello, Gaylord
[Von Trapp, spoken]
Oh, shut up!
[Rolf, spoken]
But that's your name, isn't it? Gaylord Von Trapp
[Von Trapp, spoken]
Yeah, but you know what you're doing
[Maria, spoken]
Oh, just arrest the perv!
[Von Trapp, spoken]
Hey, how old are you, by the way?
[Maria]
I'm old enough, but it's still kinda dicey
[Von Trapp]
Layee odl, layee odl layee-mhmmm
