Johnny B. Goode

Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play a guitar just like a-ringin' a bell

Go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Johnny B. Goode

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
The people passing by they would stop and say
"Oh my what that little country boy could play"

Go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Johnny B. Goode

His mother told him "someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big old band
Many people coming from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun go down
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Saying "Johnny B. Goode tonight"

Go go
Go Johnny go
Go go go Johnny go
Go go go Johnny go
Go go go Johnny go
Go
Johnny B. Goode 

Almost grown

(Wow wow) You know I'm almost grown (Wow wow)
Yeah 'n' I'm doin' all right in school
They ain't said I broke no rule
I ain't never been in Dutch
I don't browse around too much

Don't bother me, leave me alone
Anyway I'm almost grown

I don't run around with no mob
Got myself a little job
I'm gonna buy me a little car,
Drive my girl in the park

Don't bother just leave us alone
Anyway we're almost grown

Got my eye on a little girl
Ah, she's really out of this world
When I take her to the dance,
She's got to talk about romance

Don't bother just leave us alone
Anyway we're almost grown

You know I'm still livin' in town
But I done married and settled down
Now I really have a ball
So I don't browse around at all

Don't bother just leave us alone
Anyway we're almost grown

Some hungry cats at the gate
They was crying for bread

And give her money on the side
No matter what you do
She ain't never satisfied

Nadine

I got on a city bus and found a vacant seat
I thought I saw my future bride walking up the street
I shouted to the driver hey conductor, you must slow down
I think I see her please let me off this bus

Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh, Nadine. Honey, is that you?
Seems like every time I see you Darling
You got something else to do

I saw her from the corner when she turned and doubled back
And started walkin' toward a coffee colored cadillac
I was pushin' through the crowd to get to where she's at
And I was campaign shouting like a southern diplomat

Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh, Nadine. Honey, is that you?
Seems like every time I see you Darling
You got something else to do

Downtown searching for her, looking all around
Saw her getting in a yellow cab heading up town
I caught a loaded taxi, paid up everybody's tab
With a twenty dollar bill, told him 'catch that yellow cab

Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh, Nadine. Honey, is that you?
Seems like every time I catch you
Datcha you're up to something new

She move around like a wave of summer breeze
Go, driver, go, go, catch her balmy breeze
Moving thru the traffic like a mounted cavalier
Leaning out the taxi window trying to make her hear 

Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh, Nadine. Honey, is that you?
Seems like every time I catch you
Datcha you're up to something new

Shake, rattle and roll

Well get out from that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans
Get out from that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans
Well roll my breakfast 'cause I'm a hungry man

when you wear those dresses the sun comes shinin' through
When you wear those dresses the sun comes shinin' through
I can't believe my eyes, all of this belongs to you

I said shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll
Well you never do nothin' to save your doggone soul

way over the hill and wigged out underneath
Way over the hill and wigged out underneath
You make me roll my eyes baby make me grit my teeth

I'm like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a sea-food store
I'm like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a sea-food store
I can look at you tell you don't love me no more
