Sweet Little Sixteen
Lennon, John
Rock'n'roll (1975)

They're really rockin' in Boston
in Pittsburgh, p.a.
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
you gotta have to change her trend
become sweet sixteen-ah
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 mama
it's all right with you.

Because they're rockin' in New York
in Philadelphia, p.a.
deep in the heart of Texas
down at the "rainbow", L.A.
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
about half, half a mountain
that's framed back
do it! do it!
