They're really rockin' in Boston
In 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 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
Becomes so excited
Watch her 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 rockin' on bandstand,
In Philadelphia, PA
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

'Cause they'll be rockin' on bandstand
Philadelphia, PA
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, oh!
Sweet little sixteen

Sweet little sixteen
She's got the grown up blues
Tight dresses and lipstick
She's sportin' high heel shoes
Oh, but tomorrow morning
She'll have to change her trend
And be sweet sixteen
And back in class again

'Cause they'll be rockin' in Boston,
In Pittsburgh, PA
Deep in the heart of Texas,
And 'round the Frisco Bay
Way out in St. Louis,
Way down in New Orleans
All the cats wanna dance with
Sweet little sixteen
