How about it?, how about it?, it takes a lot of people to make it possible, 
so give 'em a big hand. Everybody is working to try to make it nicer. 
Anyway! As I leave you... a little bit of Sweet Sixteen for the guys - 
just a taste - give me C for Sweet Sixteen...) 
When I first met you baby, baby you were just sweet sixteen 
First met you baby, baby you was just sweet sixteen 
Just left your home then baby, oh the sweetest thing I'd ever seen 
But you wouldn't do nothing for me baby, you wouldn't do anything I asked you to 
You wouldn't do nothing for me baby, oh you wouldn't do anything I asked you to 
You know you ran away from your home baby, and now you wanna run away from old me too 
My brother's in Korea baby, my sister's down in New Orleans 
Brother's in Korea baby, oh sister sister down in New Orleans 
You know I'm having so much troubles people, 
baby I wonder what in the world is gonna happen to me 
Oh yes sweet sixteen baby, sweet sixteen, oh yes 
The sweetest thing baby, oh yes 
The sweetest thing I ever seen 
You know I'm having so much trouble people, 
baby I wonder what in the world's gonna happen to me 
Sweet sixteen, sweet sixteen oh yes 
You know I'm having so much trouble people 
Baby I wonder 
Yes I wonder 
Baby I wonder 
I wonder what in the world's gonna happen to me
