Píseň: Sweet Little Sixteen

Interpret:
Chuck Berry
Album:
One Dozen Berrys
They're really rockin' in Boston, Pittsburgh, PA 
Deep in the heart of Texas and round the Frisco Bay 
All over St. Louis, way down in New Orleans 
Everybody wants dance with Sweet Little Sixteen


Sweet Little Sixteen, she's just got to have 
About a half a million framed autographs 
Her wallet's filled with pictures; she gets them one by one 
Becomes so excited; won't you look at her run, boy? 


Oh Mommy, Mommy, please may I go? 
It's such a sight to see; somebody steal the show 
Oh Daddy, Daddy, I beg you 
Whisper to Mommy it's all right with you. 




'Cause they'll be rockin' on the bandstand 
Philadelphia, PA 
Deep in the heart of Texas and round the Frisco Bay 
All over St. Louis, way down in New Orleans 
Everybody wants dance with Sweet Little Sixteen 


Sweet Little Sixteen, she's got the grownup blues 
Tight dresses and lipstick 
She's sportin' high-heeled shoes 
Oh, but tomorrow mornin' 
She'll have to change her trend 
And be sweet 16 and back in class again
