They're really rockin' in Boston, Pittsburgh, Pa
Deep in the heart of Texas and round the 'Frisco Bay
All over St. Louis and down in New Orleans
Everybody wants to dance with sweet little sixteen

Sweet little sixteen, she's got to have
About half a million framed autographs
Her wallet filled with pictures
She gets them one by one
She gets so excited
Watch her, look at her run

Oh Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, may I go
It's such a sight to see somebody steal the show
Oh Daddy, Daddy, I beg of you
Whisper to Mommy it's alright with you

'Cause they'll be rockin' on Bandstand in Philadelphia, Pa
Deep in the hеart of Texas and round the 'Frisco Bay
All over St. Louis, way down in Nеw Orleans
All the cats wanna dance with sweet little sixteen

Sweet little sixteen, she's got the grown-up blues
Tight dresses and lipstick, sportin' high-heel shoes
Oh but tomorrow morning she'll have to change her trend
And be sweet sixteen and back in class again
'Cause they'll be rockin' on Bandstand in Philadelphia, Pa
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
All the cats wanna dance with sweet little sixteen
