Well it does creep me out just a bit, but on the other hand it does express a truth that we all pretty much know: Many, perhaps most, men do look at teenage girls that way. I'm not saying most adult men molest teenage girls (which the song certainly does not suggest either), or even want to have sex with them, but they certainly notice that they're becoming women. They notice their physical and sexual development.

If you're doing an adult musical, well, this is a something that adults know. Maybe the song just sounds too lighthearted for a point that some may find creepy.

The funny thing is that this version of the show sounds like it may end up being less adult then the movie from 57 years earlier.

And I'm not even a huge fan of the movie.
