CHORUS:
They're really rocking on
[A] bandstand, Philadelphia P.-
[D]-A.
Deep in the heart of
[A] Texas, and round the Frisco
[D] bay
All over St.
[G] Louis, way down in new Or-
[D]-leans
All the cats wanna dance
[A] with, sweet little six-
[D]-teen
VERSE 1:
Sweet little six-
[A]-teen, she's just got to
[D] have
About half a
[A] million, framed auto-
[D]-graphs
Her wallets filled with
[G] pictures, she gets 'em one by
[D] one
She gets so ex-
[A]-cited, watch her look at her
[D] run boy
BRIDGE:
Oh mommy,
[G] mommy, please may I
[D] go
Its such a sight to
[A] see, somebody steal the
[D] show
Oh daddy,
[G] daddy, I beg of
[D] you
Whisper to
[A] mommy, it's alright with
[D] you
REPEAT CHORUS:
INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE 2:
Sweet little six-
[A]-teen, she's got the grown up
[D] blues
Tight dress and
[A] lipstick, she's sporting high heal
[D] shoes
Oh, but tomorrow
[G] morning, she'll have to change her
[D] trend
And be sweet
[A] sixteen, and back in class a-
[D]-gain
REPEAT CHORUS
