Chuck Berry Album

Come on over here, baby
Girl, I'm gonna give you a little kiss
You're gonna feel my hands all around you
Not a finger will you miss
After I turn you on, baby
I'm gonna blow your mind with some of this

Squeezed in that mauved dress you showed me
Child, that hemline's out of sight
With that foxy frame you're flaunting
It ain't no way it won't fit you right
We're going to a rock and roll revival
You know we're sure 'nuff gonna boogie tonight

They'd be playing them old and golden goodies
Used to blow my mind when I was a child
Back when I'd got my head together
I wouldn't walk a block, but I'd dance a mile
Girl, you better be in good shape tonight
'Cause we sure e'nuff gonna ball awhile

It's been a long, long time
Since I let me backbone bend
Oh, for them same sweet memories
When we didn't have nothing but time to spend
We'd boogie and ball all Saturday mornin'
Right back that night and ball again

Yeah, this is a mean old world, to try to live in all by yourself
This is a mean old world, to try to live in all by yourself
When you can't have the one you really love
Have to use somebody else

Last night I lost the best girl I ever had
Last night I lost the best girl I ever had
That is why this evenin', that is why I feel so bad

I got the blues, baby, I gotta' pack my few rags and go
I got the blues, baby, I gotta' pack my few rags and go
I know you don't really love me darlin'
Ya out ballin' Mr. So-and-So

I will not let you go, I will not let you go, I will not let you go
You know I love you and I want you and I need you more and more
No, I can't, I just can't let you go

Lord knows we were born to be with each other and I ain't gonna let you go
We're s'posed to spend our lives together and I just can't let you go
Because I love you and I want you and I need you more and more
No, I can't darling, I just can't let you go

I know I love you in vain, little girl, but I still can't let you go
I'm tied to you with chains of love, but I just can't let you go
Because I love you and I want you and I need you more and more
No, I can't, I just can't let you go

(Somebody tell me)
How can my heart withstand so much pain
And still keep on beating and loving you in vain ?
Because I love you and I want you and I need you more and more
Lord, I just can't, I just can't let you go

(Well, that is why)
I will not, I will not let you go
Li'l darling, I will not, no, no, I will not, I will not let you go
Because I love you and I want you and I got to have you more and more
No, darling, I will not, I will not let you go

[No lyrics]

I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
Love you, I love you, I love you

At the beach, in a pool
In a lunchroom at school
In a drive-in, child, in a car
It don't matter, darlin', where you are

I don't know how to show
How I feel, but it's real
Ain't no way I can say
Just how real that I feel, but

I wanna show you how I can please you
'Cause I want you and I need you
Gotta have you, gotta know you
Let me love you and let me show you that

Sometimes I will, then again I think I won't
Sometimes I will, then again I think I won't
Sometimes I do, then again I think I don't

Well I looked at my watch, it was 9:21
We was at a rock'n'roll dance having nothing but fun
And we rolled, reelin' and a rockin'
We was reelin' and a rockin'
Rollin' till the break of dawn

Well I looked at my watch, it was 9:32
There's nothing I would rather do than dance with you
And we rolled, reelin' and a rockin'
We was reelin' and a rockin'
Rollin' till the break of dawn

Well I looked at my watch, it was 9:43
And everytime I spinned she would spin with me
And we rolled, reelin' and a rockin'
We was reelin' and a rockin'
Rollin' till the break of dawn

Well I looked at my watch, it was 9:54
I said, " Dance ballerina girl, go go go!"
And we rolled, reelin' and a - rockin'
We was reelin' and a rockin'
Rollin' till the break of dawn

Well I looked at my watch, it was 10:05
Man, I didn't know if I was dead or alive
And I was rollin', reelin' and a rockin'
We was reelin' and a rockin'
Rollin' till the break of dawn

Well I looked at my watch, it was 10:26
But I'm gonna keep on dancing toll I get my kicks
And we reeled, reelin' and a rockin'
We was reelin' and a rockin'
Rollin' till the break of dawn

Well I looked at my watch, it was 10:28
I gotta get my kicks before it get too late
And we was reelin', reelin' and a - rockin'
We was reelin' and a rockin'
Rollin' till the break of dawn

Well I looked at my watch, it was 10:29
I had to hold her hand, she was still holding mine
And we reeled, reelin' and a rockin'
We was reelin' and a rockin'
Rollin' till the break of dawn

Well I looked at my watch and to my surprise
I was dancing with a woman that was twice my size
I was reelin', reelin' and a rockin'
We was reelin' and a rockin'
Rollin' till the break of dawn

Well I looked at my watch and it was time to go
The bandleader said " We ain't playing no more "
And we was reelin', reelin' and a rockin'
We was reelin' and a rockin'
Well till the break of dawn

When I was a little bitty boy
my grandmother bought me a cute little toy
silver bells hanging on a string
she told me it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling oh
(chorus 2x)
my ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling

Then momma took me to grammer school
but I stopped off in the best of youth
Everytime that bell would ring
catch me playin with my ding-a-ling-a-ling oh
(chorus 2x)

Once I was climbing the garden wall
I slipped and had a terrible fall
I fell so hard I heard bells ring
but held on to my ding-a-ling-a-ling oh
(chorus 2x)
Once I was swimmin cross turtle creek
man them snappers all around my feet
Sure was hard swimmin cross that thing
With both hands holdin my ding-a-ling-a-ling oh
(chorus 2x)
This little song, it ain't so sad
the cutest little song you ever had
Those of you who will not sing
you must be playin with your own ding-a-ling!
(chorus 2x)
Your own ding-a-ling your own ding-a-ling
we saw you playin with your own ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling everybody sing
I wanna play with my ding-a-ling
I w-a-n-n-a p-l-a-y w-i-t-h m-y d-i-n-g-a-l-i-n-g!!!

Way down 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 name of Johnny B. Goode...
He never ever learned to read or write so well,
But he could play the guitar like ringing a bell.

(Chorus)
Go Go
Go Johnny Go
Go Go
Johnny B. Goode

He use to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
And sit beneath the trees by the railroad track.
Oh, the engineers used to see him sitting in the shade,
Playing to the rhythm that the drivers made.
People passing by would stop and say
Oh my that little country boy could play

(Chorus)

His mama told him someday he would be a man,
And he would be the leader of a big old band.
Many people coming from miles around
To hear him play his music when the sun go down
Maybe someday his name would be in lights
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight.

(Chorus)
