Intro

 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)

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

 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
