Lyrics

They're really rockin' in boston, pittsburgh, pa
Deep in the heart of texas and 'round the frisco bay
All over st. louis, 'way down in new orleans
All the cats gonna dance with sweet little sixteen

Sweet little sixteen, she's just got to have
About a half a million signed autographs
Her wallet's filled with pictures, she gets 'em one by one
She gets 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
It's all right with mommy, it's all right with you

'Cause they'll be rockin' on bandstand, in pittsburgh, pa
Deep in the heart of texas, 'way down in frisco bay
All over st. louis, 'way down in new orleans
All the cats gonna dance with sweet little sixteen
