'Bout to uh, do one for you now, ladies and gentlemen
Kinda um, speed it up a little bit in here
With a little, a little diddy that we have on uh
One of our smash albums
Very fine uh, very fine song done by um, by Chuck Berry
And I hope you enjoy our version of it
Gonna kick it off here with about the key of G
And I'ma let the guitar player kick it off for me over here
So we get all warmed up
Thing called, uh, Johnny, why don't you be Goode, huh?
Alright
ย
Yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Are you ready?
Deep down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans
Back up in the woods among the evergreens
Stood an old cabin made of earth and wood
Lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
Playing a guitar just like a ring of a bell
Go-go, go Johnny, go, go
Go Johnny, go, go
Go Johnny, go, go
Go Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny B. Goode
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
He sat beneath the tree by the railroad track
The engineer would blow a whistle everyday
Hitting to the rhythm that the drivers made
The people passing by used to stop and say
"Oh my, I bet that little country boy can play
Go-go, go Johnny, go, go
Go Johnny, go, go...
Go Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny B. Goode
Oh, yeah
ย
Well, his mama told him someday you're gonna be a man
You gon', you're gonna be the leader of a big old band
Many people coming from miles around
Hear you play your music when the sun goes down
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Johnny B. Goode, I like to shake it tonight
Go-go, go Johnny, go, go
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go...
Go, Johnny B. Goode
ย
Oh (oh)
Well, if you're hearing anything right on top of the piano there like
A kinda like a real slamming type noise
Well, that's me beating on top of it
Lord, Lord
Well, thank you very much
But I'll tell you one thing
Certainly hope you enjoyed it, that um, a pretty good tune
Check Berry tune there, Johnny B. Goode
Mm-hmm
