Deep in the heart of texas

And round the frisco bay
              F#7
All over st. louis
                       C#7
Way down in new orleans

           Ab7
Whisper to mommy
                      C#7
Its 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

Piano solo on verse

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
Shes got the grown up blues
Tight dress and lipstick
Shes sportin high heel shoes
Oh, but tomorrow morning
Shell have to chang her trend
And be sweet sixteen
And 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
