Sweet Little Sixteen Lyrics By Jerry Lee Lewis

    they’re really rockin’ in boston
    in pittsburgh pa
    deep in the heart of texas
    and round the ‘frisco bay
    all over stlouis
    and down in new orleans
    all the cats wanna dance with
    sweet little sixteen

    sweet little sixteen
    she’s just got to have
    about half a million
    famed autographs
    her wallet filled with pictures
    she gets them one by one
    becomes so excited
    watch her look at her run

    oh mommy mommy
    please 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 heart of texas
    and round the ‘frisco bay
    all over stlouis
    way down in new orleans
    all the cats wanna dance with
    sweet little sixteen

    ’cause they’ll be rockin’ on bandstand
    in philadelphia pa
    deep in the heart of texas
    and round the ‘frisco bay
    all over stlouis
    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 dresses 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

    well the’ll be rockin’ in boston
    pittsburgh pa
    deep in the heart of texas
    and round the ‘frisco bay
    way out in stlouis
    way down in new orleans
    all the cats wanna dance with
    sweet little sixteen
