Verse 1: They're really rockin' in Boston In Pittsburgh, P.A. Deep in the heart of Texas And 'round Frisco Bay All over St. Louis 'Way down in New Orleans All the cats wanna dance with Sweet Little Sixteen
Refrain: Sweet little sixteen She' just got to have About a half a million famed autographs Her wallets filled with pictures She get 'em one by one Becomes so excited Watch her, look at her run
Verse 2: 'Cause they'll be rockin' on Bandstand In Philadelphia, P.A. Deep in the heart of Texas And 'round Frisco Bay All over St. Louis 'Way down in New Orleans All the cats wanna dance with Sweet Little Sixteen
Refrain: Sweet Little Sixteen She's got the grownup blues Tight dresses and lipstick She's sportin' high heel shoes Oh, but tomorrow morning She'll have to change her trend And be sweet sixteen And back in class again
Patter: Oh, mommy, mommy Please may I go? It's such a sight to see Somebody steal the show Oh daddy, daddy I beg of you Whisper to mommy It's all right with you.
