Lyrics
[Verse 1]
At nine years old and sweet as she can be
All dressed up like a downtown Christmas tree
Dancin' and hummin' a rock-roll melody
[Verse 2]
She's the daughter of a well-respected man
Who taught her how to judge and understand
Since she became a rock-roll music fan
[Verse 3]
Sweet little rock 'n' roller
Sweet little rock 'n' roller
Her daddy don't have to scold her
Her partner can't hardly hold her
She never gets any older
Sweet little rock 'n' roller
[Verse 4]
Should've seen her eyes when the band began to play
And the famous singers sang and bawled away
When the stars performed, she screamed and yelled, "Hooray!"
[Verse 5]
Ten thousand eyes were watchin' them leave the floor
Five thousand tongues were screamin', "More! More!"
And about fifteen hundred waitin' outside the door
[Verse 6]
Sweet little rock 'n' roller
Sweet little rock 'n' roller
Sweet little rock 'n' roller
Sweet little rock 'n' roller...
