Standard (EADGBE)

Chorus

They're really rockin' in Boston, Philadephia, P.A.,

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. 0:24

Verse 1

Sweet little sixteen, she's just got to have,

About a half a million framed autographs,

Her wallet's filled with pictures, she gets ‘em one by one,

[

Becomes so excited, won't you look at her run, boy? 0:46

Bridge

“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 alright with you”. 1:09

Instrumental, same pattern as verse 1

] 1:32

Verse 2

Sweet little sixteen, she got the grown-up blues,

Tight dresses and lipstick, she's sportin' high-heeled shoes,

Oh, but tomorrow mornin', she'll have to change her train,

[

Become sweet sixteen, and back in class again. 1:54

Chorus

Yes, ‘cause they'll be rockin' in Boston, Philadephia, P.A.,

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. 2:20
