They're really rockin' on Bandstand
Philadelphia, PA
Deep in the heart of Texas
Along the 'Frisco Bay
All over St. Louis
Way in New Orleans
All the cats gonna dance with
Sweet Little Sixteen

Yep, Sweet Little Sixteen
She's just got to have
About a half a million
Signed autographs
Her wallet filled with pictures
She gets 'em one by one
Becomes so excited
Well don't you look at her run, boy

"Well, Mommy, Mommy
Please may I go
It's such a sight to see
Somebody steal the show
Woah, Daddy, Daddy
I beg of you
Whisper to Mommy
It's all right with you"
Woo!
Sweet Little Sixteen
She got the grown up blues
Tight dresses and lipstick
She's sporting high heeled shoes
Oh but tomorrow morning
She gotta change her trend
Go back to being sixteen
Back in class again

'Cause they'll be rockin' on Bandstand
Philadelphia, PA
Deep in the heart of Texas
Along the 'Frisco Bay
Well all over St.Louis
Way down in New Orleans
All the cats wanna dance with
Sweet Little Sixteen
