Key: :[Db] (w: Chuck Berry)
INTRO: [*R1]
CHORUS:
They're really rocking on
[Ab] bandstand, Philadelphia P.-
[Db]-A.
Deep in the heart of
[Ab] Texas, and round the Frisco
[Db] bay
All over St.
[F#] Louis, way down in new Or-
[Db]-leans
All the cats wanna dance
[Ab] with, sweet little six-
[Db]-teen
VERSE 1:
Sweet little six-
[Ab]-teen, she's just got to
[Db] have
About half a
[Ab] million, framed auto-
[Db]-graphs
Her wallets filled with
[F#] pictures, she gets 'em one by
[Db] one
She gets so ex-
[Ab]-cited, watch her look at her
[Db] run boy
BRIDGE:
Oh mommy,
[F#] mommy, please may I
[Db] go
Its such a sight to
[Ab] see, somebody steal the
[Db] show
Oh daddy,
[F#] daddy, I beg of
[Db] you
Whisper to
[Ab] mommy, it's alright with
[Db] you
REPEAT CHORUS:
INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE 2:
Sweet little six-
[Ab]-teen, she's got the grown up
[Db] blues
Tight dress and
[Ab] lipstick, she's sporting high heal
[Db] shoes
Oh, but tomorrow
[F#] morning, she'll have to change her
[Db] trend
And be sweet
[Ab] sixteen, and back in class a-
[Db]-gain
REPEAT CHORUS
