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
