NOTE: I did NOT make this tab, I got it from http://bettylou.zzruss.com/donegan.htm, but
I decided to post it here since it wasn't here before, and since I'm becoming a fan,
it's easier for me as well this way. Great Skiffle from the king!

[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 (stop)
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

With a pair of yellow gloves he’s borrowed from his dad

He makes it roar so lively just to see his girlfriend smile
A (stop)
But she knows he’s only putting on the style
[Chorus]

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.

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

But it’s only our poor preacher, boys, it’s putting on his style

Putting on the agony, putting on the style,
A A7 D
that's what all the young folks are doing all the while.
