[B] They're really [G#] rockin' in Hawthorne and [C#] Pittsburgh, PA
[G#] Deep in the heart of Texas [D#] and around [C#] Frisco Bay
All [F#] over St.
Louis and down in [C#] New Orleans
All the [G#] cats wanna dance with Sweet Little [C#] Sixty
Sweet [G#] Little Sixty
She's just [C#] got to have about a half a million
Fame [C#] daughter, Gretz
Her wallet [F#] filled with pictures
She gets [C#] them one by one
Becomes [G#] so excited
Watch [C#] her look at her run, boy
Mommy, [F#] Mommy, leave me, I go
It's such [G#] a sight to see
Somebody [C#] steals the show
Oh, [F#] Daddy, [D#] Daddy, I beg of you
[G#] Whisper to Mommy, it's all [C#] right with you
Cause they'll be [G#] rockin' on Van Stanton
In [C#] Philadelphia, PA
Deep in [G#] the heart of Texas and around the [C#] Frisco Bay
All [F#] over St.
Louis, way down in [C#] New Orleans
All the [G#] cats wanna dance with Sweet [C#] Little Sixty

All the cats [G#] wanna dance with Sweet Little [C#] Sixty
Sweet [G#] Little Sixty
She's got the grown [C#]-up blues
Tight [G#] dresses and lipstick
She's sportin' [C#] high-heeled shoes
Oh, but [F#] tomorrow morning
She'll have to [C#] change her train
And be [G#] Sweet Sixteen
And back [C#] in class again
Cause they'll [G#] be rockin' in Wall Street
[C#] Pittsburgh, PA
Deep in [G#] the heart of Texas and around the [C#] Frisco Bay
Way [F#] out in St.
Louis, way down [C#] in New Orleans
