Sweet Little Rock & Roller

(album: Rockpile - 1972)

Yeah, nine years old and sweet as she can be
All dressed up like a downtown Christmas tree
Dancing and humming a rock'n'roll melody
She's the daughter of a well-respected man
Who taught her to judge and understand
Since she became a rock'n'roll music fan

Sweet little rock'n'roller
Sweet little rock'n'roller
Her daddy don't have to scold her
Her partner can't hardly hold her
Her partner can't hardly hold her
She never gets any older
Sweet little rock'n'roller

Should have seen her eyes when the band began to play
And the famous singer sang and bowed away
When the star performed she screamed and yelled "Hooray!"

Ten thousand eyes were watching him leave the floor
Five thousand tongues were screaming more and more
And about fifteen hundred people waiting outside the door

Sweet little rock'n'roller
Sweet little rock'n'roller
Sweet little rock'n'roller
Sweet little rock'n'roller
Sweet little rock'n'roller
Sweet little rock'n'roller
Sweet little rock'n'roller
