They're really rocking in Boston
Philadelphia, P.A.
Deep in the heart of Texas
Way down in Frisco Bay
All over St. Louis
All the cats wanna dance with
Sweet Little Sixteen

Sweet Little Sixteen
She's just got to have
About a half a million
A-framed autographs
Her wallet's filled with pictures
She gets them, one by one
Becomes so excited
Oh, won't you look at her run, boy?

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

Sweet Little Sixteen
She's got the grown-up blues
Tight dresses and lipstick
She's sporting high-heeled shoes
Oh, but tomorrow morning
She'll have to change her trend
Become Sweet Sixteen
And back in class, again

Yeah, 'cause they'll be rocking in Boston
Philadelphia, P.A.
Deep in the heart of Texas
Around Frisco Bay
All over St. Louis
And down in New Orleans
All the cats wanna dance with
Sweet Little Sixteen
