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
