Chuck Berry Lyrics of the Too Much Monkey Business For Me track

YOU CAN'T CATCH ME


Chuck Berry





I bought a brand-new air-mobile


It custom-made, 'twas a Flight De Ville


With a pow'ful motor and some hideaway wings


Push in on the button and you will get a scene





CHORUS:


Now you can't catch me, baby you can't catch me


'Cause if you get too close, you know I'm gone like a cool breeze





New Jersey Turnpike in the wee wee hours


I was rollin' slow because of drizzlin' showers


Here come a flat-top, he was movin' up with me


Then come wavin' goodbye a little' old souped-up jitney


I put my foot in my tank and I began to roll


Moanin' siren, 'twas a state patrol


So I let out my wings and then I blew my horn


Bye bye New Jersey, I'd be come and gone





(chorus)





Flyin' with my baby last Saturday night


Not a gray cloud floatin' in sight


Big full moon shinin' up above


Cuddle up honey, be my love


Sweetest little thing I've ever seen


I'm gonna name you Maybellene


Flyin' on the beam, set on flight control


Radio tuned to rock 'n' roll


Two, three hours have passed us by


I'll be 2 dropped to 5:05


Fuel consumption way too fast


Let's get on home before we run out of gas





(chorus)
