They're twistin' in Boston

Pittsburgh, PA

Deep in the heart of Texas

'round 'Frisco bay

Well all over St. Louis

down in New Orleans

All the cats want to dance with

Sweet little sixteen



Sweet little sixteen

she just got to have

'bout a half a million

Same (framed) autographs

What to do with (Her wallet's filled) with pictures

She gets them one by one

Comes (She gets) so excited

why don't you look at her run

well, Mommy, Mommy

please may I go

It's such a sight to see

Somebody steal the show

Well, Daddy, Daddy

I beg of you

(whisper to) Mommy

it's allright with you



Sweet little sixteen

She got the grown up blues

tight dresses and lipstick

Some money too (she's sportin' high heel shoes)

but tomorrow morning

She's gotta change her train? (She'll have to change her trend)

go back to being sixteen

back to class again



Yeah, they're twistin' in Boston

Pittsburgh, PA

Deep in the heart of Texas

'round 'Frisco bay

Well all over St. Louis

down in New Orleans

All the cats want to dance with

Sweet little sixteen



Oh yeah, sweet, sweet little sixteen

Sweet, sweet little sixteen

Sweet, sweet little sixteen

Sweet, sweet little sixteen

Sweet, sweet little sixteen

Sweet, sweet little sixteen
