[Chorus]
N.C.                      B  
They're really rocking in Boston,
In Philadelphia PEA,
Deep in the heart of BTexas,
On down the Frisco EBay.
All over Saint ALouis
And down in New OrEleans.
All the cats want to Bdance with
Sweet little sixEteen.
[Verse 1]
N.C.            B  
Sweet little sixteen,
N.C.              E  
She's just got to have
N.C.         B  
About half a million
N.C.       E  
Framed autographs.
N.C.                    A  
Her wall is filled with pictures,
N.C.                 E  
She gets them one by one.
N.C.         B  
Becomes so excited,
N.C.                E  
Oh watch her at the run, boy.
[Bridge]
Oh Mommy, AMommy,
Please may I Ego.
You know it's such a sight to Bsee
Somebody steal the Eshow.
Oh Daddy, ADaddy,
I beg of Eyou.
Whisper to BMommy
It's alright with Eyou.
