~~~~~~~~
They´re really rockin´ in Boston, in Pittburgh, P.A., deep in the heart of Texas, and ´round the Frisco Bay
All over St. Louis, way down in New Orleans, all the cats wanna dance with sweet little sixteen
Sweet little sixteen, she´s just got to have, about a half a million signed autographs
Her wallet´s filled with pictures, she get´s ´m one by one, becomes so excited.. watch her, 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 of you, whisper to Mommy, it´s all right with you" [solo fake]
´Cos they´ll be rockin´ on bandstand, in Philadelphia, P.A., deep in the heart of Texas, and ´round the Frisco Bay
All over St. Louis, way down in New Orleans, all the cats wanna dance with sweet little sixteen
Sweet little sixteen, she´s got the grown up blues, tight dresses and lipstick, she´s sportin´ high heel shoes
Oh, but tomorrow mornin´, she´ll have to change her trend and be sweet sixteen and back in class again
Still they´ll be rockin´ in Boston, in Pittsburgh, P.A., deep in the heart of Texas and ´round the Frisco Bay
All over St. Louis, way down in New Orleans, all the cats wanna dance with sweet little sixteen

This song was inspired by a teenage autograph-seeker on a package tour.
The girl was insistent upon getting the autograph of each headliner on the tour.
The melody is the same as the Beach Boys' 1963 hit "Surfin' U.S.A.."
Berry got composing credit on the Beach Boys song in the mid-'70s as a result of a plagiarism lawsuit.
