Last night I went to Crawley to hear Chuck Berry sing
I said Chuck please do your duck walk, not that smutty thing
Sing Sweet little 16, don't play Ding-a-ling
Don't waste our time together, you know we don't have long
So many songs and just one hour, Ding a ling is wrong
Leave us memories to cherish after you have gone
(Br) Work your magic play the big kid, you could drop Ding if you wanted
Let us hear those songs with subtlety
Leave out Ding it takes your kid thing, too far, but girls and cars
And school and Rock and roll we could hear all day
You made millions like me want to play
Instrum.
(Bridge) People made Ding number one, think it's all you've ever done
But it's an aberration not for me
Play us all your classic songs with your riffs to push them on
We only have one hour then you're gone
Leave me chanting Chuck refrains
I might not have the chance to see you again
She's a paragon of virtue
Sometimes wears her hair up, always lets it down
She will raise your spirits up whenever she's around
You'll see her in the Orient, find her in the West
If you're at all uncertain, she will steer you to success
She's got the common touch, with an educated mind
She's got the art of conversation and enjoys a glass of wine
Whatever company she's in she's always at her best
She'll be the focus of attention and put your mind at rest
(BR) Not interested in status, money's never on her mind
Never needs a reason to be having a good time
She's a paragon of virtue so please take my advice
Don't do anything to hurt her, always treat her nice
She's very slow to anger, she's not easy to offend
She'll be a mother to your children, your lover and your friend
If you play your cards right, help her through her lows
You can both grow old together, sharing as you go
Instrum. Bridge
Without her you are lost always lack direction
Unquestioning in love and tireless in affection
But why is she content to be the tatties to your neaps?
Why's never too tired to read before she sleeps?
