Sweet Little Rock and Roller

(album: Ronnie Milsap - 1971)

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

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

Should have seen her eyes when the band began to play
And the famous singers 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, more!"
About fifteen hundred waiting outside the door

Sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller
Her partner can hardly hold her
She never gets any older
Sweet little rock and roller
Oh sweet little rock and roller
