Sweet sixteen goes to church just to see the boys
laughs and screams and giggles at every little noise.
Turns her face a little, and turns her head awhile,
but everybody knows she's only putting on the style.
She's putting on the agony, putting on the style,
that's what all the young folks are doing all the while.
And as I look around me I sometimes have to smile.
seeing all the young folks putting on the style.
Young man in the hot-rod car, driving like hes mad
With a pair of yellow gloves hes borrowed from his dad
He makes it roar so lively just to see his girlfriend smile
But she knows hes only putting on the style
Preacher in the pulpit roars with all his might
Sing Glory Hallelula with the folks all in a fright
Now you might think hes satan thats coming down the aisle
But its only our poor preacher, boys, its putting on his style
