At the Hop!

Chuck Berry!!!!






As 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 tryin' to get to where she's at
And I was campaign shouting like a southern diplomat

Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh, Nadine, honey where are you?
Seems like every time I catch up with you
You're up to something new

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
Flipped 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 up with you
You're up to something new

She moves around like a wave of summer breeze
Go, driver, go, go, catch her for me please
Moving through the traffic like a mounted Cavalier
Leanin' out the taxi window tryin' to make her hear

Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh, Nadine, honey is that you?
Seems like every time I see you darling
You're up to something new

  1. All of Chuck Berry's songs are classics. I love it when he does the duck walk.
