E
In Philadelphia PA,
                     B
Deep in the heart of Texas,
                   E
On down the Frisco Bay.
               A
All over Saint Louis
                  E
And down in New Orleans.
                     B
All the cats want to dance with
                E
Sweet little sixteen.

[Verse 1]
N.C.            B
Sweet little sixteen,
N.C.              E
She's just got to have
N.C.         B
About half a million
N.C.       E
Framed autographs.
N.C.                    A
Her wall is filled with pictures,
N.C.                 E
She gets them one by one.
N.C.         B
Becomes so excited,
N.C.                E
Oh watch her at the run, boy.

[Bridge]
          A
Oh Mommy, Mommy,
             E
Please may I go.
                              B
You know it's such a sight to see
                   E
Somebody steal the show.
          A
Oh Daddy, Daddy,
         E
I beg of you.
           B
Whisper to Mommy
                  E
It's alright with you.

[Verse 2]
N.C.            B
Sweet little sixteen
N.C.                   E
She's got the grown up blues.
N.C.              B
Tight dresses and lipstick,
N.C.                          E
She's sporting in high heeled shoes.
N.C.            A
Oh but tomorrow morning
N.C.                      E
She'll have to change her trend
N.C.            B
Become sweet sixteen
N.C.               E
And back in class again.

[Chorus]
                                   B
Yeah, 'cause they'll be rocking in Boston,
                 E
In Philadelphia PA,
                     B
Deep in the heart of Texas
                    E
And down the Frisco Bay.
               A
All over Saint Louis,
                 E
On down in New Orleans.
                     B
All the cats want to dance with
                E
Sweet little sixteen
