Chuck Berry - Sweet Little Sixteen

A song I'm sure you all know - here's a late (1972) live version.
Check out that knee action! Not bad for an old guy.






They're really rockin' in Boston, in Pittsburgh, PA.
Deep in the heart of Texas, an' 'round the 'Frisco Bay.
All over Saint Louie, an' down in New Orleans.
All the cats wanna dance with Sweet Little Sixteen.

Sweet Little Sixteen, she's just got to have,
About half a million famed autographs.
Her wallet filled with pictures she gets them 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 alright with you."

'Cause they'll be rockin' on Bandstand, in Philadelphia, PA.
Deep in the heart of Texas an' 'round the 'Frisco Bay.
All over Saint Louie, way down in New Orleans.
All the cats wanna dance with Sweet Little Sixteen.

'Cause they'll be rockin' on Bandstand, Philadelphia, PA.
Deep in the heart of Texas, an' 'round the 'Frisco Bay
All over Saint Louie, way down in New Orleans.
All the cats wanna dance with (oo!) Sweet Little Sixteen.

Sweet Little Sixteen, she's got the grown-up blues.
Tight dresses an' lipstick, she's sportin' high-heel shoes.
Oh, but tomorrow mornin' she'll have to change her trend.
And be sweet sixteen an' back in class again.

Well the'll be rockin' in Boston, Pittsburgh, PA.
Deep in the heart of Texas, an' 'round the 'Frisco Bay.
Way out in Saint Louie, way down in New Orleans.
All the cats wanna dance with Sweet Little Sixteen.
