With songs such as "Maybellene" (1955), "Roll Over Beethoven" (1956), "Rock and Roll Music" (1957) and "Johnny B. Goode" (1958), Chuck Berry refined and developed rhythm and blues into the major elements that made rock and roll distinctive, with lyrics focusing on teen life and consumerism and utilizing guitar solos and showmanship that would be a major influence on subsequent rock music. more »

They're really rockin 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

Sweet Little Sixteen
She's just got to have
About half a million
Framed autographs
Her wallet's filled with pictures
She gets 'em one by one
She gets so excited
Watch her look at her run

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

'Cause 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 dress and lipstick
She's sportin' high heal shoes
Oh, but tomorrow morning
She'll have to chang her trend
And be sweet sixteen
And back in class again

'Cause 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
