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 wallets 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
Shell 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
