They're really rockin' in Boston
In Pittsburgh, PA
Deep in the heart of Texas
And 'round the Frisco Bay
All over St. Louie
Way down in New Orleans
All the cats gonna dance with
Sweet little sixteen

Sweet little sixteen
She's just got to have
About a half a million
Famed autographs
Her wallet's filled with pictures
She gets them 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 alright 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. Louie
Way down in New Orleans
All the cats gonna dance with
Sweet little sixteen

They're really rockin' on Bandstand
In Philadelphia, PA
Deep in the heart of Texas
And 'round the Frisco Bay
All over St. Louie
Way down in New Orleans
All the cats gonna dance with
Sweet little sixteen

'Cause they'll be rockin' on Bandstand

And 'round the Frisco Bay
All over St. Louie
Way down in New Orleans
All the cats gonna dance with
Sweet little sixteen

Sweet little sixteen
She's just got to have
About a half a million
Famed autographs
Oh, but tomorrow morning
She'll have to change her trend
And be sweet sixteen
And back in class again

"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"
