[Intro]
D
 
[Verse 1]
D                                            A
Sweet sixteen goes to church just to see the boys
A                                 A7           D
laughs and screams and giggles at every little noise.
D                             D7              G
Turns her face a little, then turns her head awhile,
   A N.C.
but everybody knows she's only putting on the style.
 
[Chorus]
     D                                     A
She's putting on the agony, putting on the style,
A                                   A7            D
that's what all the young folks are doing all the while.
    D                      D7               G
And as I look around me I sometimes have to smile.
A                            A7             D
seeing all the young folks a'putting on the style.
 
[Verse 2]
 D                                              A
Young man in the hot-rod car, driving like he’s mad
A                                 A7                D
With a pair of yellow gloves he’s borrowed from his dad
   D                               D7                 G
He makes it roar so lively just to see his girlfriend smile
A N.C.
But she knows he’s only putting on the style
 
[Chorus]
     D                                     A
He's putting on the agony, putting on the style,
A                                   A7            D
that's what all the young folks are doing all the while.
    D                      D7               G
And as I look around me I sometimes have to smile.
A                            A7           D
seeing all the young folks a'putting on a style.
 
[Verse 3]
D                                         A
Preacher in the pulpit roars with all his might
     A                         A7             D
Sing Glory Hallelujah puts the folks all in a fright
    D                                   D7              G
Now you might think he’s satan that’s a'coming down the aisle
         A N.C.
But it’s only our poor preacher, boys, it’s putting on his style
 
[Chorus]
D                                    A
Putting on the agony, putting on the style,
A                                   A7            D
that's what all the young folks are doing all the while.
    D                      D7               G
And as I look around me I sometimes have to smile.
A                            A7           D
seeing all the young folks a'putting on a style.

 D                                   A
Putting on the agony, putting on the style,
A                                   A7             D
that's what all the young folks are doing all the while.
    D                       D7              G
And as I look around me I'm sometimes apt to smile.
