Sweet Little Sixteen Chuck Berry Acoustic Rock Cover w/ Bluesharp

(c)1958 Words & Music Chuck Berry, on album " One Dozen Berrys"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They´re really rockin´ in Boston, in Pittburgh, 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 a half a million signed autographs
Her wallet´s filled with pictures, she get´s ´m 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 all right with you" [solo fake]

´Cos 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 the grown up blues
Tight dresses and lipstick, she´s sportin´ high heel shoes
Oh, but tomorrow mornin´, she´ll have to change her trend
And be sweet sixteen and back in class again

Still they´ll be rockin´ in 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
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harmonica key of C, guitar tuned up half step!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This song was inspired by a teenage autograph-seeker on a package tour. The girl was insistent upon getting the autograph of each headliner on the tour.
The melody is the same as the Beach Boys' 1963 hit "Surfin' U.S.A.." Berry got composing credit on the Beach Boys song in the mid-'70s as a result of a plagiarism lawsuit.
