Teenage Medley

They're really rockin' in Boston
In Pittsburgh PA
Deep in the heart of Texas
And by the 'Frisco Bay
All over St. Louis
Down in New Orleans
All the cats wanna dance with
Sweet little sixteen
Sweet little sixteen
She's just got to have
About a half a million
Framed autographs
Got a thing about pictures
She gets them one by one
Becomes so excited
Won't ya 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 alright with you
"Is she really going out with him?"
"There she is - let's ask her"
"Barbara? Is that Jimmy's ring you're wearing?
"Uh-huh"
"Gee, it must be great riding with him"
"Is he picking you up after school today?"
"Uh-Uh"
"By the way, where'd you meet him?"
I met him at the candy store
He turned around and smiled at me
You get the picture? ("Yes we see")
That's when I fell for the leader of the pack
My folks were always putting him down ("Down, down")
They said he came from the wrong side of town
("They said he came from the wrong side of town")
They told me he was bad
But I know he was sad
That's why I fell for the leader of the pack
Why does the sun go on shining
Why does the sea rush to shore
Don't they know it's the end of our world
'Cause you don't love me any more
Why do the birds go on singing
Why do the stars glow above
Don't they know it's the end of our world
It ended when I lost your love
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
One day my dad said "Find someone new"
I had to tell my Jimmy we were through
He kinda smiled and kissed me goodbye
But the tears were beginning to show
As he drove away on that rainy day
I begged him to go slow
But whether he heard, I'll never know
No, no, no, no, no....
At school they all stop and stare
I can't hide the tears but I don't care
I'll never forget him
The leader of the pack
The leader of the pack...
(Repeat)
