The Six Teens
Composer(s): Mike Chapman - Nicky Chinn
First release by: Sweet - 1974



Where were you in sixty-eight 
In sixty-eight Julie was Johnnie's date 
Two kids growin' together 
Livin' each day as if time was slippin' away 
Oh, they were just sixteen 
And their love a teenage dream 
They passed the time, they crossed the line 
The line that ran between 
Julie and Johnnie now you've made it 
But life goes on, you know it ain't easy 
You've just gotta be strong 
If you're one of the sixteens 
And life goes on, you know, you know it ain't easy 
You know you'll never go wrong 
'Cause you're all part of the sixteens 

Suzie and Davey got to make the big time 
Maybe they can put it all together 
In a show that lasts forever 
Oh they would walk the strip at nights 
And dream they saw their name in lights 
On Desolation boulevard 
They'll light the faded light 
Suzie and Davey you can make it 

But life goes on, you know it ain't easy 
You've just gotta be strong 
If you're one of the sixteens 
And life goes on, you know, you know it ain't easy 
You know you'll never go wrong 
'Cause you're all part of the sixteens 

So where were you in sixty-eight 
When Bobby and Billy thought 
That sixty eight was out of date 
They took the flowers from their hair 
And tried to make us all aware 
Too bad, too late 
So they lived from day to day 
And tried to do it all their way 
But sixty-eight was sixty-eight 
No matter what they say 
Bobby and Billy maybe you'll make it one day...
