Beatles, The - Sweet Little Sixteen Lyrics
They're really rocking in Boston
Philadelphia, PA
Deep in the heart of Texas
On down in Frisco Bay
All over Saint Louis
All the cats want to dance with
Sweet little sixteen
Sweet little sixteen
She just got to have
About half a million
Framed autographs
Her wallet is filled with pictures
She get 'em one by one
Becomes so excited
Mommy mommy
Please may I go
It's such a sight to see
Somebody steal the show
Oh daddy daddy
I beg of you
Well please say it to mommy
It's all right with you
Ow!
Sweet little sixteen
She's got the grown-up blues
Tight dresses and lipstick
She's blowing high healed shoes
Well by tomorrow morning
She'll have to change her train
Become sweet sixteen
A back in class again
Yea cos they're really rocking in Boston
Philadelphia, PA
Deep in the heart of Texas
On down in Frisco Bay
All over Saint Louis
On down to New Orleans
All the cats want to dance with
Sweet little sixteen

Beatles, The Sweet Little Sixteen Comments
The Beatles did 15 Chuck Berry song
Too bad John still didn't possess this voice when he did his Rock and Roll album. Too high (vocally) in the 70s.
Nothing like the original. Horrible
AW COM'ON NOW! Its the Beatles!
@piet van breemen I know. but it just is not up to the original.
Its much better than original
@MarianoBeatlero Really. Actually the Beatles disagreed with you. This is before rock and roll. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg8Y2rQ0A9U&list=WL&index=114&t=0s
When my older sister played the original by Chuck Berry- I told her it sounds like the Beatles. her response was"The Beatles sound like Chuck Berry" RIP Barbara.
Watched them live in the cavern doing all these numbers. Awesome
Oh my you are so incredibly lucky
*The Beach Boys want to know your location*
I wonder what guitars were being used here? Usual lineup in 1963 was Rickenbacker 325(John) and Gretsch Duojet (George), but that solo doesn't sound like the duojet. It's not twangy enough. Possible I wonder that John played this solo on the rickenbacker?
GHR 1227 John on the Gibson j160!
@Dominic Rossi You think it's the J160E ? How interesting I had not considered that but you are right. It is the right era for him to be using it even on stage.
@Dominic Rossi that can't be a gibson, his gibson is acoustic, *that* sound is very much electric
sin sarcasmo It is. The J-160 is plugged into the amp, you can hear that acoustic clunky sound that they produce on here. Pictures show on the BBC John using the J-160E and George on the Country Gentleman. Is John used his Rick 325, it would sound much cleaner than how it does in this. Like I said, the J-160 had a clunky sound when it’s plugged into an amp.
This definitely inspired Ballad if John and Yoko
Better than the original....and I love Chuck Berry. The Beatles had a remarkable way of taking something good and making it better.
lobofan22 , experts at covers from club days
Taking a sad song and making it better?
First time hearing this and I already love it!
This sounds like Surfin" USA by The Beach Boys and maybe a little like Roger Miller's chugalug chugalug
This sounds a bit like Surfin USA
It's a cover of the Chuck Berry song, and surfing usa by beach boys is similar and based in sweet little sixteen.
Surfin usa is a copy of sweet little sixteen
Many people say it was plagiarism from the Beach Boys, who disrespected Chuck Barry.
ROCKIN cover! You gotta love John's vocals
They could cover like no one before or after...super sound
three words John's Guitar solo.
How you know its John and not George?
That's George, from what I've found out. John's playing the rhythm in the background and George is on lead.
darkhorse60 no way!
That guitar playing is WAAAAY too sloppy to be George 😂
Not to mention the signature sound of the Gibson j160 that John used extensively through the BBC recording
That’d be mr Harrison
That Rhythm Guitar..
That solo by Lennon..
The early Beatles had much more impressive rhythm guitar in my opinion. It is especially noticeable in the cavern club version of one after 909 compared to the later released version
Who doesn't love the Beatles? I'll tell ya who. Weirdos that's who!
Thats saying something coming from Draco Malfoy!
sweet little sixteen is the marie evelyn marques
Amazing how great they were
