Sweet Little Sixteen (Live at Lanchester Arts Festival)
At the back of the stage, can we have a very big welcome please
For the incredible, Mr. Chuck Berry
Thank you
Thank you
Well, we just got tuned up, we gonna open the show at this moment
We gonna open it with a little, Sweet Little Sixteen
They're really rockin' 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
Sweet Little Sixteen
She's just got to have
About half a million
Framed autographs
Her wallet's filled with pictures
She gets 'em one by one
She gets so excited
Watch her look at her run
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
'Cause 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 them grown up blues
Mini skirts and lipstick
She sometime's don't wear shoes
Oh, but tomorrow morning
She'll have to change her trend
And be sweet sixteen
Go back in class again
'Cause 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
For the incredible, Mr. Chuck Berry
