Key: :[C] (w: Chuck Berry)
INTRO: [*R1]
CHORUS:
They're really rocking on
[G] bandstand, Philadelphia P.-
[C]-A.
Deep in the heart of
[G] Texas, and round the Frisco
[C] bay
All over St.
[F] Louis, way down in new Or-
[C]-leans
All the cats wanna dance
[G] with, sweet little six-
[C]-teen
VERSE 1:
Sweet little six-
[G]-teen, she's just got to
[C] have
About half a
[G] million, framed auto-
[C]-graphs
Her wallets filled with
[F] pictures, she gets 'em one by
[C] one
She gets so ex-
[G]-cited, watch her look at her
[C] run boy
BRIDGE:
Oh mommy,
[F] mommy, please may I
[C] go
Its such a sight to
[G] see, somebody steal the

Oh daddy,
[F] daddy, I beg of
[C] you
Whisper to
[G] mommy, it's alright with
[C] you

INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE 2:
Sweet little six-
[G]-teen, she's got the grown up
[C] blues
Tight dress and
[G] lipstick, she's sporting high heal
[C] shoes
Oh, but tomorrow
[F] morning, she'll have to change her
[C] trend
And be sweet
[G] sixteen, and back in class a-
[C]-gain
REPEAT CHORUS
