Sweet Little SixteenThe Rolling Stones

Songwriter: Chuck Berry

Producer: Terry Shand Dave Trafford Geoff Kempin Linda Brown

They're really rockin in Boston
In Pittsburgh, P. A
Deep in the heart of Texas
And 'round the Frisco Bay
My love is St. Louis
And down to New Orleans
All the girls I wanna dance with
Sweet Little Sixteen

Sweet Little Sixteen
She's just got to have
About a half a million
Framed autographs
Her wallet's filled with pictures
She gets 'em one by one
She gets so excited
Won't ya look at her run boy

Oh Mommy Mommy
I'm begging you
It's such a sight to see
Somebody stealin' the show
Oh Mommy Mommy
I beg of you
Whisper to Daddy
It's all right with you

Cause they'll be rockin out in Boston
In Philadelphia P.A
Deep in the heart of Texas
And 'round the Frisco Bay
My love is St. Louis
Way Down in New Orleans
All the girls I wanna dance with
Sweet Little Sixteen

[Guitar solo]

Sweet Little Sixteen
She's got the grown up blues
Tight dresses and Tampax
She's sportin' high end shoes
Oh, but tomorrow morning
She'll have to change her trend
And be sweet sixteen
Back in class again

Cause they'll be rockin out in Boston
In Pittsburg P.A
Deep in the heart of Texas
And 'round the Frisco Bay
All over St. Louis
Way Down in New Orleans
All the girls I wanna dance with
Sweet Little Sixteen

The Rolling Stones

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
