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)
