Nadine

Nadine by 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 trying 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.
With 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 balmy breeze.
Moving thru the traffic like a mounted cavalier.
Leaning out the taxi window just trying to make her hear.

Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh, Nadine. Honey, is that you?
Seems like every time I see you darling you up to something new.
