[Bb] [Eb] [Am] [C] They're really rocking in [Bb] Boston
It's his [Eb] first PA
Deep in the [Bb] heart of [Bb] Jackson's
around the [Eb] Piscot Bay
[Ab] [Eb] All [Ab] over St.
Louis
Way [Bbm] down in New [Eb] Orleans
Everybody wants [Bb] to dance with
[Eb] sweet [Bb] little 16
Just got [Eb] to have
About a half [Bb] a million
Fame daughter [Eb] grab [Bbm] her wallet filled with pictures
[Ab]
She got some one by [Eb] one
Become so [Bb] excited
Watch a look [Eb] at her run
[Ab]
Please [Eb] go it's such a [Bb] sight to see
I [Eb] [Ab] beg [Eb] of you
Whisper [Bb] to my mama
It's all [Eb] right with you
Cuz I'll be rocking [Bb] on fancy
Right off [Eb] the PA
Deep in the [Bb] heart of Texas
Around the [Eb] Piscot Bay
All [Ab] over St.
Louis New [Eb] Orleans
Everybody [Bb] want to dance with
[Eb] Sweet little [Bb] 16
She's got the grown [Eb]-up blues
Many [Bb] skirts and hot pants
[Eb] Sometimes you don't even wear shoes
Oh, but [Ab] tomorrow morning
She'll have to [Eb] change her trend
And be [Bb] sweet 16
And get back in [Eb] class again
Cuz I'll be rocking on fancy
Right off the PA
[Ab] Deep in the heart of Texas
[Eb] Around the Piscot Bay
All [Ab] over St.
Louis
[Abm] Down in New [Ebm] Orleans
[Eb] Everybody [Bb] wants to dance with
[Fm] [Eb] Louder everybody wants [Bb] to dance with
