Lyrics Ten Years After

Ten Years After

Sweet Little Sixteen

I am looking at the sheet music from 1958:

Verse 1:

They're really rockin' in Boston

In Pittsburgh, P.A.

Deep in the heart of Texas

And 'round Frisco Bay

All over St. Louis

'Way down in New Orleans

All the cats wanna dance with

Sweet Little Sixteen

Refrain:

Sweet little sixteen

She' just got to have

About a half a million

famed autographs

Her wallets filled with pictures

She get 'em one by one

Becomes so excited

Watch her, look at her run

Verse 2:

'Cause they'll be rockin' on Bandstand

In Philadelphia, P.A.

Deep in the heart of Texas

And 'round Frisco Bay

All over St. Louis

'Way down in New Orleans

All the cats wanna dance with

Sweet Little Sixteen

Refrain:

Sweet Little Sixteen

She's got the grownup blues

Tight dresses and lipstick

She's sportin' high heel shoes

Oh, but tomorrow morning

She'll have to change her trend

And be sweet sixteen

And back in class again

Patter:

Oh, mommy, mommy

Please may I go?

It's such a sight to see

Somebody steal the show

Oh daddy, daddy

I beg of you

Whisper to mommy

It's all right with you.
