I am looking at the sheet music from 1958:
|
|
Verse 1:
|
They're really rockin' in Boston
|
In Pittsburgh, P.A.
|
Deep in the heart of Texas
|
And 'round Frisco Bay
|
All over St. Louis
|
'Way down in New Orleans
|
All the cats wanna dance with
|
Sweet Little Sixteen
|
|
Refrain:
|
Sweet little sixteen
|
She' just got to have
|
About a half a million
|
famed autographs
|
Her wallets filled with pictures
|
She get 'em one by one
|
Becomes so excited
|
Watch her, look at her run
|
|
Verse 2:
|
'Cause they'll be rockin' on Bandstand
|
In Philadelphia, P.A.
|
Deep in the heart of Texas
|
And 'round Frisco Bay
|
All over St. Louis
|
'Way down in New Orleans
|
All the cats wanna dance with
|
Sweet Little Sixteen
|
|
Refrain:
|
Sweet Little Sixteen
|
She's got the grownup blues
|
Tight dresses and lipstick
|
She's sportin' high heel shoes
|
Oh, but tomorrow morning
|
She'll have to change her trend
|
And be sweet sixteen
|
And back in class again
|
|
Patter:
|
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 all right with you.
