They're really rockin' in 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 'em 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 PA
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 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

Cause they'll be rockin' on bandstand
In Philadelphia PA
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
