[Chorus]
Ab7
They're really rockin' in Bos-ton
Db7
In Pittsburgh, P. A.
Ab7
Deep in the heart of Tex-as
Db7
And 'round the Frisco Bay
Gb7
All over St. Lou-ie
Db7
Way down in New Or-leans
Ab7
All the cats wanna dance with
Db7 (break)
Sweet Little Six-teen

[Verse 1]
Ab7 (break)
Sweet Little Six-teen
Db7 (break)
She's just got to have
Ab7 (break)
About half a mil-lion
Db7 (break)
Framed auto-graphs
Gb7 (break)
Her wallet's filled with pic-tures
Db7 (break)
She gets 'em one by one
Ab7 (break)
She gets so ex-cit-ed
Db7
Watch her, look at her ru-hun

[Verse 2]
Gb7
Oh, Mommy! Mom-my!
Db7
Please, may I go?
Ab7
It's such a sight to see
Db7
Somebody steal the show
Gb7
Oh Daddy! Dad-dy!
Db7
I beg of you
Ab7
Whisper to Mom-my
Db7
It's all right with you

[Chorus]
Ab7
'Cause they'll be rockin' on "Band-stand"
Db7
In Philadelphia, P. A.
Ab7
Deep in the heart of Tex-as
Db7
And 'round the Frisco Bay
Gb7
All over St. Lou-ie
Db7
Way down in New Or-leans
Ab7
All the cats wanna dance with
Db7
Sweet Little Six-teen

'Cause they'll be rockin' on "Band-stand"

Gb7
All over St. Lou-ie

Way down in New Or-leans
Ab7
All the cats wanna dance with
Db7
Sweet Little Six-teen

[Verse 3]
Ab7
Sweet Little Six-teen
Db7 (break)
She's got the grown-up blues
Ab7 (break)
Tight dress and lip-stick
Db7 (break)
She's sportin' high heel shoes
Gb7 (break)
Oh, but tomorrow morn-ing
Ab7 (break)
She'll have to change her trend
Db7 (break)
And be Sweet Six-teen
Ab7 (break)
And back in class again

[Chorus]
Ab7
They're really rockin' in Bos-ton
Db7
In Pittsburgh, P. A.
Ab7
Deep in the heart of Tex-as
Db7
And 'round the Frisco Bay
Gb7
All over St. Lou-ie
Db7
Way down in New Or-leans
Ab7
All the cats wanna dance with
Db7
Sweet Little Six-teen
