INTRO:
[G C G D C]

They're really rockin' in BGoston
In Pittsburgh, PCA
Deep in the heart of TGexas
On down to Frisco bCay
All over St. LFouis
And down in New OrlCeans
All the cats wanna dGance with
Sweet little sixtCeen

Sweet, sweet, sweet little sixteen
She's got the grown-up blues
Tight dresses and lipstick
She's sportin' high heel boots
Oh, but tomorrow morning
She's gotta have to change her trend
Become sweet sixteen
And back in class again

Oh mummy, mFummy
Please, please may I Cgo
You know it's such a sight to sGee them
Some other steal the sChow
Oh daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy
You know I beg of you
Scream it to mGomma
It's all right with yCou

Because they're rockin in New York
In Philadelphia, PA
Deep in the heart of Texas
Down at the Rainbow, LA
All over St. Louis
And down in New Orleans
All them mothers wanted to
Be sweet little sixteen

Sweet, sweet, sweet sixteen
She's so delicate
She's just gotta have it (fade)
