Nadine Lyrics

Artist: Chuck Berry

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

[Alternate verse: Seems like every time I catch you,
datcha you're up to something new]

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

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.'

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.

Chuck the master/ you cannot appreciate the writing and phrasing without reading and hearing his mastery of language, image, and music.

Luckytrim caught 'em all. Good job! I was singing this in middle school, and still love it. I went for these lyrics to print for a middle eastern teenager whose Amercanised parents named her...Nadine!

I hear: flipped 'em twenty dollar bill.. Chuck cuts off some of his words to fit, like "dropped the coin right into the slot..."
