Sweet little rock'n'roller
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yeah, nine years old and sweet as she can be
All dressed up like a downtown Christmas tree
Dancin?and hummin?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 watchin?him leave the floor
Five thousand tongues were screamin?"More and More!?br> And about fifteen hundred people waitin?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
