Well thinkin´ of my school days, I remember Maybeline
Used to dance with her all night she was little sweet sixteen
Her brother used to chase me
He thought I did, but I never could
I used to call him Little Queenie
His name was Johnnie B. Good

I used to hold her ´til I was older
Then I got bolder,
Her brother used to scold her
I left there in the mornin´
Went back to Memphis, Tennessee
You know her brother never found me
And that´s all right with me

I went to New York City to find what could be found
Just for kicks down sixty six, stopped in L.A. Town
Yes I went to California just to see what I could see
Well nobody knew just where I was
And that´s alright with me
You know I met a girl named Carol
And her girlfriend sweet Nadine,
Played the rock n´ roll music
Used to kiss me in between
Roll over Beethoven that happened to be her favorite song
But we never did much rollin´
I didn´t stay there long

I used to hold her and try to mold her
Somebody told her, Nadine and I were bolder
I left there in the mornin´
Went back to Memphis, Tenneessee
You know, I never saw her face again
And that´s alright with me

I used to hold her and try to mold her
Somebody told her, Nadine and I were bolder
I left there in the mornin´
Went back to Memphis, Tenneessee
You know, I never saw her face again
And that´s alright with me
