They're really rockin' in Boston
In Pittsburgh, Pa
Deep in the heart of Texas
And down in Frisco Bay
All over St. Louis
And down in New Orleans
All the cats wanna dance with
Sweet little sixteen
Sweet little sixteen
She's just gotta have
About half million
Famed autographs
Her wallet filled with pictures
She gets them one by one
Becomes so excited
Watch her look at 'em
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 down in Frisco Bay
Oh, all over St. Louis
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 down in Frisco Bay
Oh, 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 dresses and lipstick
She bought some high heel shoes
Oh, but tomorrow morning
She'll have to change her trend
And be sweet sixteen
And back in class again
Oh, they'll be rockin' on bandstand
They're really rockin' in Boston
In Pittsburgh, Pa
Deep in the heart of Texas
And down in Frisco Bay
Way out all over St. Louis
Way down in New Orleans
All the cats wanna dance with
Sweet little sixteen
