[Verse]

                       G
They're really rockin' Boston
                 C
In Pittsburgh, P.A
                     g
Deep in the heart of Texas
                      C
And 'round the Frisco Bay
             F
All over St. Louis
                  C
Way down in New Orleans
                   G
All the Cats wanna dance with
                 C
Sweet Little Sixteen


[Verse 2]

                G
Sweet Little Sixteen
                  C
She's just got to have
             G
About half a million
            C
Framed autographs
                         F
Her wallet's filled with pictures
                    C
She gets 'me one by one
              G
She gets so excited
                      C
Watch her look at her run


[Verse 3]

                           G
Cause they'll be rockin on bandstand
                 C
In Philadelphia, P.A
                     G
Deep in the heart of Texas
                      C
And around the Frisco Bay
             F
All over St. Louis
                  C
Way Down in New Orleans
                   G
All the Cats wanna dance with
                C
Sweet Little Sixteen


[Verse 4]

                G
Sweet Little Sixteen
                       C
She's got the grown up blues
                G
Tight dress and lipstick
                         C
She's sportin' high heal shoes
                 F
Oh, but tomorrow morning
                          C
She'll have to change her trend
                G
And be sweet sixteen
                   C
And back in class again


[Bridge]

           F
Oh, mommy, mommy
             C
Please may I go
                     G
It's such a sight to see
                   C
Somebody steal the show
           F
Oh, daddy, daddy
         C
I beg of you
           G
Whisper to mommy
                    C
It's all right with you
