CHORUS 1: 
G G7 C 
They're really rockin' in Boston, Pittsburgh, PA 
G G7 C 
Deep in the heart of Texas and round the Frisco Bay 
F C 
All over St. Louis, way down in New Orleans 
G G7 C 
All the cats wanna dance with Sweet Little 16

Up in the mornin' and off to school 
The teacher is teachin' the golden rule 
                               C 
American hist'ry and practical math 
                                G 
You're studyin' hard, hopin' to pass
