It Happened 42 Years Ago Songtext
von BZN

It happened 42 years ago, my friend
We started up to be a rock ′n' roll band
So we are going to have a party tonight
We′re gonna rock
(We'er gonna rock)
We'er gonna roll
(We′er gonna roll)
We′er gonna rock, we'er gonna roll until the morning light


Deep down in Louisiana
Close to New Orleans
′Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood an old cabin
Made of earth and wood
There lives a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
Who'd never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play the guitar
Just like ringing a bell
Go go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Johnny B. Goode

I met him on a Monday and my heart stood still
Da doo ron ron
Da doo ron ron
Somebody told me that his name was Bill
Da doo ron ron
Da doo ron ron
Yes my heart stood still
Yes his name was Bill
And when he walked me home
Da doo ron ron
Da doo ron ron

Well that′ll be the day
When you say goodbye
That'll be the day
When you make me cry
You say you′re gonna leave
You know it's a lie 'cause
That′ll be the day
When I die


I′m gonna knock on your door
Ring on your bell
Tap on your window too
If you don't come out tonight
When the moon is bright
I′m gonna knocking ringing tappin' till you do
Hey little girl
This ain′t no time to sleep
Let's count kisses ′stead of countin' sheep
How how can I hold you near
With you up there
And me down here

I'm gonna knock on your door
Ring on your bell
Tap on your window too
If you don′t come out tonight
When the moon is bright
I′m gonna knocking ringing tappin'
Knocking ringing tappin′
Knocking ringing tappin'
Knocking ring until you do

Wake up little Susie wake up
Wake up little Susie wake up

We′re both been sound asleep
Wake up little Susie and weep
The movie's over, it′s four o'clock and we're in trouble deep

Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie
We′ve gotta go home

Do you love me
(Do you love me)
Do you love me
(Do you love me)
Do you love me
(Do you love me)
Now that I can dance

Good golly miss Molly
You sure like to ball
Good golly miss Molly
You sure like to ball
When you′re rockin' and rollin′
Can't hear your momma call

Mon amour tu es ma rose
Qui ne va jamais passer
Je t′adore de jour en jour
Mademoiselle d'amour
Mon amour
Mon amour

It happened 42 years ago, my friend
