A7D7
They're really rockin' in Boston, Philadephia, P.A.,
A7D7
Deep in the heart of Texas, and 'round the Frisco Bay,
G7D7
All over St. Louis, and down in New Orleans,
A7D7 ]
All the cats wanna dance with, sweet little sixteen. 0:24
Verse 1:
A7D7
Sweet little sixteen, she's just got to have,
A7D7
About a half a million framed autographs,
G7D7
Her wallet's filled with pictures, she gets 'em one by one,
A7D7
Becomes so excited, won't you look at her run, boy?
Bridge:
G7D7
"Oh Mommy, Mommy, please may I go?
A7D7
It's such a sight to see, somebody steal the show.
G7D7
Oh Daddy, Daddy, I beg of you,
A7D7
Whisper to Mommy, it's alright with you".
Instrumental, same pattern as verse 1

Verse 2:
A7D7
Sweet little sixteen, she got the grown-up blues,
A7D7
Tight dresses and lipstick, she's sportin' high-heeled shoes,
G7D7
Oh, but tomorrow mornin', she'll have to change her train,
A7D7
Become sweet sixteen, and back in class again.
Chorus
A7D7
Yes, 'cause they'll be rockin' in Boston, Philadephia, P.A.,
A7D7
Deep in the heart of Texas, and 'round the Frisco Bay,
G7D7
All over St. Louis, and down in New Orleans,
A7D7D
All the cats wanna dance with, sweet little sixteen.
