Sweet Little Sixteen


(Chuck Berry)

They're really rockin¡¯ in Boston in Pittsburgh, P. A.
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

Sweet Little Sixteen she's just got to have
About half a million framed autographs
Her wallet's filled with pictures she gets 'em one by one
She gets 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 all right with you

Cause they'll be rockin¡¯ on bandstand
In Philadelphia P.A.
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

Sweet Little Sixteen
She's got the grown up blues
Tight dress and lipstick
She's sportin' high heal shoes
Oh, but tomorrow morning
She'll have to change her trend
And be sweet sixteen
And back in class again

Cause they'll be rockin¡¯ on bandstand
In Philadelphia P.A.
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
