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
G#out 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
[C#] show
Oh daddy,
[F#] daddy, I beg of
[C#] you
Whisper to
[G#] mommy, it's alright with
[C#] you
REPEAT CHORUS:
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
