Well, they're really rockin' in Boston, Pittsburgh, PA
Deep in the heart of Texas, shakin' 'round the Frisco Bay
All over St. Louis, way down in New Orleans
All the cats gonna dance with sweet little sixteen

Mmm, sweet little sixteen, yeah, she's just gotta have
About half a million famed autographs
Oh, her wallet filled with pictures, yeah, she got them one by one
Becoming so excited, man, won't you 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, daddy, I beg of you
It's alright with mama, well, I guess it's okay with you"

Oh, 'cause they'll be rockin' on bandstand in Philadelphia, PA
Deep in the heart of Texas, struttin' 'round the Frisco Bay
Yes, all over St. Louis, way down in New Orleans
All the cats gonna dance with sweet little sixteen
Yeah

Mmm, sweet little sixteen, well, she's got the grown-up blues
She's wearing tight dresses and lipstick, man, she's sportin' high-heeled shoes
Yeah, but tomorrow morning, she's gonna change her trend
She's gonna be sweet sixteen, she's gonna shake it back in class again
Yeah, they'll be rockin' on bandstand, Philedelphia, PA
Down deep in the heart of Texas, man, they skakin' 'round the Frisco Bay
Ooh, all over St. Louis, way down in New Orleans
All the cats are gonna dance with sweet little sixteen
