They're really rockin' in Boston

In Pittsburgh, Pa.

Deep in the heart of Texas

And round the 'Frisco Bay

All over St.Louis

And down in New Orleans

All the cats wanna dance with

Sweet Little Sixteen



Sweet Little Sixteen

She's just got to have

About half a million

Famed autographs

Her wallet filled with pictures

She gets them one by one

Becomes so excited

Watch her, look at her run.



"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 alright with you"



*'Cause they'll be rockin' on Bandstand

In Philadelphia, Pa.

Deep in the heart of Texas

And round the 'Frisco Bay

All over St.Louis

Way down in New Orleans

All the cats wanna dance with

Sweet Little Sixteen



(*Repeat)



Sweet Little Sixteen

She's got the grown - up 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



Well the'll be rockin' in Boston

Pittsburgh, Pa.

Deep in the heart of Texas

And round the 'Frisco Bay

Way out in St.Louis

Way down in New Orleans

All the cats wanna dance with

Sweet Little Sixteen
