They're really rockin' in Boston; Pittsburgh, PA
Deep in the heart of Texas, and round the 'Frisco Bay
All over St. Louis and down in New Orleans
All the cats want to dance with Sweet Little Sixteen

Sweet Little Sixteen, she's just got to have
About a half a million framed autographs
Her wallet's filled with pictures; she gets them one by one
Becomes so excited; 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

Cause they'll be rocking on bandstand, 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 dresses and lipstick, she's sporting high-heeled shoes
Oh, but tomorrow morning she'll have to change her trend
And be sweet sixteen and back in class again

But they'll be rockin' in Boston; Pittsburgh, PA
Deep in the heart of Texas, and round the 'Frisco Bay
All over St. Louis and down in New Orleans
All the cats want to dance with Sweet Little Sixteen
