Lyrics Richard Thompson

Richard Thompson

Sweet Little Rock 'n Roller

Yeah, nine years old and sweet as she can be

All dressed up like a downtown Christmas tree

Dancin?and hummin?a rock’n’roll melody

She’s the daughter of a well-respected man

Who taught her to judge and understand

Since she became a rock’n’roll music fan

Sweet little rock'n'roller

Sweet little rock'n'roller

Her daddy don’t have to scold her

Her partner can’t hardly hold her

Her partner can’t hardly hold her

She never gets any older

Sweet little rock’n’roller

Should have seen her eyes when the band began to play

And the famous singer sang and bowed away

When the star performed she screamed and yelled

"Hooray!"

Ten thousand eyes were watchin?him leave the floor

Five thousand tongues were screamin?“More and More!?br>

And about fifteen hundred people waitin?outside the

door

Sweet little rock'n'roller

Sweet little rock'n'roller

Sweet little rock'n'roller

Sweet little rock'n'roller

Sweet little rock'n'roller

Sweet little rock'n'roller

Sweet little rock'n'roller
