Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Whoa!
[Verse 2]
They're really rockin' in Boston
In Pittsburgh, PA
Deep in the heart of Texas
And down on Frisco Bay
All over St. Louis
And down in New Orleans
All the cats wanna dance with
Sweet little sixteen
[Verse 3]
Sweet, sweet, sweet little sixteen
She's got the grown up blues
Tight dresses and lipstick
She's sportin' high heeled boots
Oh, but tomorrow mornin'
She's gonna have to change her trend
Become sweet sixteen
And back in class again
[Verse 4]
Oh, mommy, mommy
Please, please may I go?
You know, it's such a sight to see them
Some mothers steal the show
Oh, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy
You know, I beg of you
Screamin' it to momma
It's alright with you
[Verse 5]
Because they're rockin' in New York
And Philadelphia, PA
Deep in the heart of Texas
Down at the Rainbow LA
All over Saint Louis
And down in New Orleans
All the mothers wanna do
Is sweet little sixteen
[Verse 6]
Sweet, sweet, sweet sixteen
She's so delicate
She's just gotta have it
About half, half a million
Frame them
