Chuck Berry Lyrics

I've got no kick againt modern jazz,
Unless they try to play it too darn fast;
And change the beauty of the melody,
Until they sounded like a symphony,
That's why I go for that
Rock And Roll Music ...

I took my loved one over cross the tracks
So she can hear my man await a sax,
I must admit the have a rockin' band,
Man they were going like a hurricane
That's why I go for that
Rock and Roll music .....

Way down South they gave a jubilee,
the jockey folks they had a jamboree,
They're drinkin' homebrew from a water cup,
The folks dancin' they all got shook up
And started playin' that
Rock and Roll music ....

Don't care to hear 'em play a tango,
I'm in the mood to dig a mambo;
It's way to early for a congo,
So keep a rockin' that piano
So I can hear some of that
Rock And Roll Music ...

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

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.

Climb into my machine so we can cruise on out
I know a swingin' little joint where we can jump and shout
It's not too far back off the highway, not so long a ride
You park your car out in the open, you can walk inside
A little cutie takes your hat and you can thank her, ma'am
Every time you make the scene you find the joint is jammed

Oh Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
I'm gonna learn to dance if it takes me all night and day

And if you wanna hear some music like the boys are playin'
Hold tight, pat your foot, don't let 'em carry it away
Don't let the heat overcome you when they play so loud
Oh, don't the music intrigue you when they get a crowd
You can't dance, I know you wish you could
I got my eyes on you baby, 'cause you dance so good

Oh Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
I'm gonna learn to dance if it takes me all night and day

Don't let him steal your heart away
I've got to learn to dance if it takes you all night and day,
Oh Carol

I gotta hear it again today
You know my temp'rature rises
And the juke box blowin' a fuse
My heart beatin' rhythm
And my soul keeps singin' the blues
Roll over Beethoven

And tell Tchaikowsky the news
I got the rockin' pneumonia
I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I caught the rollin' arthritis
Sittin' down at a rhythm review
Roll over Beethoven

They're rockin' in two by two
Well if you feel you like it
Go get your lover
Then reel and rock it
Roll it over

Then move on up just a trifle further
Then reel and rock with one another
Roll over Beethoven
> Dig these rhythm and blues

Well early in the mornin'
And I'm givin' you my warnin'
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey diddle diddle
I'm a-playin' my fiddle
Ain't got nothin' to lose
Roll over Beethoven

And tell Tchaikowsky the news
You know she wiggle like a worm
Dance like a spinnin' top
She got a crazy partner
You oughta see him reel and rock
'Long as she's got a dime
The music won't ever stop

Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Dig these rhythm and blues.

As I was motovatin' over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a Coupe Deville
A cadillac a-rollin' on a open road
Nothin' out running my V-8 Ford
Cadillac doin' about ninety five
Bumper to bumper, rollin' side to side.
A Cadillac and Ford up to hundred and four
The Ford got too hot and wouldn't do no more
Ot done got cloudy and started to rain
I tooted my horn for the passing lane
The rain water poured all under my hood
I knew that was doin' my motor good.
The motor cooled down, the heat went down
And that's when I heard that highway sound
The Cadillac settin' like a toy in the lane
A hundred and the a half a mile ahead
The Cadillac lookin' like it settin' still
And I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill.

Soon as three o'clock goes around,
you finally lay your ...... down,
close up your books, get out of your seat,
down the hall and out on the streets,
up to the corner and round the .......,
right to the juke-joint you go in.

Rock the coin right into the slot,
you got to hit something that's really hot,
with the one you love you're making romance.
All day long you've been on to dance,
feeling the music, from head to toes,
round and round and round you go.

Hail, hail Rock'n'Roll,
you've never been from the days of old.
Long live Rock'n'Roll,
the beat that is loud and ......,
Rock, Rock'n'Roll,
feeling is there, body and soul.
