LITTLE QUEENIE

Original Chuck Berry version



I got lumps in my throat when I saw her coming down the aisle
I got the wiggles in my knees when she looked at me and sweetly smiled
There she is again standing over by the record machine
Looking like a model on the cover of a magazine
She's too cute to be a minute over seventeen

Meanwhile I was thinking
She's in the mood, no need to break it
I got a chance, I oughta take it
If she'll dance, then we can make it
Come on queenie, let's shake it

Go, go, go, little queenie
Go, go, go, little queenie
Go, go, go, little queenie

Tell me who's the queen standing over by the record machine
Looking like a model on the cover of a magazine
She's too cute to be a minute over seventeen

Meanwhile I was still thinking
If it's a slow song, we'll omit it
If it's a rocker, that'll get it
And if it's good, she'll admit it
Come on queenie, let's get with it

Go, go, go, little queenie
Go, go, go, little queenie
Go, go, go, little queenie

Let's get it
Everybody
