Db7 Ab7 Db7
They're really rockin' in Boston - In Pittsburgh, P.A.
Ab7 Db7
Deep in the heart of Texas - And 'round the Frisco Bay.
Gb7 Db7
All over St. Louis - Way down in New Orleans:
Ab7 Db7
All the cats wanna dance with - Sweet little sixteen!
n.c. Ab7 n.c. Db7
Sweet little sixteen - Shes just got to have,
Ab7 n.c. Db7
About half a million - Framed autographs!
n.c. Gb7 n.c. Db7
Her wallet's filled with pictures - She gets 'em one by one.
n.c. Ab7 n.c. Db7
She gets so excited - Watch her look at her run!
 
Gb7 Db7
Oh mommy mommy, Please may I go!
Ab7 Db7
It's such a sight to see - Somebody steal the show.
Gb7 Db7
Oh daddy daddy, I beg of you:
Ab7 Db7
Whisper to mommy - It's 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
 
'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 - She's got the grown up blues. 
Tight dress and lipstick - She's 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 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!
