nadine lyrics

(chuck berry)

As I get 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 the bus!"

Nadine, oh honey is that you?
Oh nadine, baby is that you?
Seems like every time I see you darling, you work on something new

I saw her from the corner as she turned and doubled back
And started walking towards her coffee coloured cadillac
I'm pushing through the crowd trying to get to where she's at
And I was campain shouting like a southern diplomat(? ? ? )

Nadine, oh honey is that you?
Oh nadine, baby is that you?
Seems like every time I see you darling, you work on something new

Well I was downtown searching for her looking all around
I saw her getting in a yellow cab heading uptown
I caught a loaded taxi paid off everybodies tab
I've slipped a twenty dollar bill and said "catch that yellow cab!"

Nadine, oh honey is that you?
Oh nadine, baby is that you?
Seems like every time I see you darling, you got something else to do
Oh nadine

- guitar solo -

Well, she moves around like a wayward summer breeze
"go driver go go, catch her for me please!"
I'm moving through the traffic like a mounted cavalier
Leaning out the taxi window, tryin' to make her hear

Nadine, oh honey is that you?
Oh nadine, baby is that you?
Seems like every time I see you darling, you work on something new

Oh nadine
Oh nadine
Oh nadine

Oh go driver
Go go
Go driver go
Go driver go
Go go, go go, go go, go go
Nadine...
