Lyrics John Lennon

John Lennon

Sweet Little Sixteen

They're really rockin' in Boston

In Pittsburgh, PA

Deep in the heart of Texas

On down to Frisco bay

All over St. Louis

And down in New Orleans

All the cats wanna dance with

Sweet little sixteen

Sweet, sweet, sweet little sixteen

She's got the grown-up blues

Tight dresses and lipstick

She's sportin' high heel boots

Oh, but tomorrow morning

She's gotta have to change her trend

Become sweet sixteen

And back in class again

Oh mummy, mummy

Please, please may I go

You know it's such a sight to see them

Some other steal the show

Oh daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy

You know I beg of you

Scream it to momma

It's all right with you

Because they're rockin in New York

In Philadelphia, PA

Deep in the heart of Texas

Down at the Rainbow, LA

All over St. Louis

And down in New Orleans

All them mothers wanted to

Be sweet little sixteen

Sweet, sweet, sweet sixteen

She's so delicate

She's just gotta have it
