They're really rocking in Boston

In Philadelphia PA

Deep in the heart of Texas

On down the Frisco Bay

All over Saint 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 half a million

Framed autopraphs

Her wall is filled with pictures

She gets them one by one

Becomes so excited

Oh watch her at the run boy



Oh mommy mommy

Please may I go

You know it's such a sight to see

Somebody steal the show

Oh daddy daddy

I beg of you

Please say it to mommy

It's alright with you



Sweet little sixteen

She's got the grown up blues

Tight dresses and lipstick

She's sporting in high heeled boots

Oh but tomorrow morning

She'll have to change her trend

Become sweet sixteen

And back in class again



They're really rocking in Boston

In Philadelphia PA

Deep in the heart of Texas

And down the Frisco Bay

All over Saint Louis

On down in New Orleans

All the cats want to dance with

sweet little sixteen
