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
(Break)
Sweet little sixteen
(Break)
Shes just got to have
(Break)
About half a million
(Break)
Framed autographs
(Break)
Her wallets filled with pictures
(Break)
She gets em one by one
(Break)
She gets so excited
(Break)
Watch her look at her run
Oh mommy mommy
Please may I go
Its such a sight to see
Somebody steal the show
Oh daddy daddy
I beg of you
Whisper to mommy
Its all right with you
Cause they'll be rockin on bandstand
In philadelphia 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
Piano solo on verse
Cause they'll be rockin on bandstand
In philadelphia 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
Shes got the grown up blues
Tight dress and lipstick
Shes sportin high heel shoes
Oh, but tomorrow morning
Shell have to chang her trend
And be sweet sixteen
And back in class again
Cause they'll be rockin on bandstand
In philadelphia 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
