They're really rockin 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 chang 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
