Lyrics: Nadine
Album: Unknown
Artist: Chuck Berry
 

I got on a city bus and found a vacant seat,
I thought i saw my future bride walking up the street,
I shouted to the driver hey conductor, you must slow down.
I think i see her please let me off this bus

Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh, nadine. honey, is that you?
Seems like every time i see you darling you got something else to do

[alternate verse: seems like every time i catch you,
Datcha you’re up to something new]

I saw her from the corner when she turned and doubled back
And started walkin’ toward a coffee colored cadillac
I was pushin’ through the crowd to get to where she’s at
And i was campaign shouting like a southern diplomat

Downtown searching for her, looking all around.
Saw her getting in a yellow cab heading up town.
I caught a loaded taxi, paid up everybody’s tab.
With a twenty dollar bill, told him ‘catch that yellow cab.’

She move around like a wave of summer breeze,
Go, driver, go, go, catch her balmy breeze.
Moving thru the traffic like a mounted cavalier.
Leaning out the taxi window trying to make her hear
