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 wallet's filled with pictures 
She gets 'me 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 around 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 
She'll have to change her trend 
And be sweet sixteen 
And back in class again
