Nadine (Lanchester Arts Festival, Coventry, February 3, 1972) Songtext
von Chuck Berry

As 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
And 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

I saw her from the corner when she turned and doubled back
And started walking toward a coffee colored Cadillac
I was pushing through the crowd tryna get to where she′s at
And I was campaign shouting like a southern diplomat


Nadine, honey, is that you?
Oh, Nadine, honey, where are you?
Seems like every time I catch up with you, you are up to something new
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
Flipping 20-dollar bill, told him, "Catch that yellow cab"

Nadine, honey, is that you?
Oh, Nadine, honey, is that you?
Seems like every time I catch up with you, you are up to something new

She moves around like a wayward summer breeze
Go, driver, go, go, catch her for me, please
Moving through the traffic like a mounted cavalier
Leaning out the taxi window tryna make her hear

Nadine, honey, is that you?
Oh, Nadine, honey, is that you?
Seems like every time I see you, darling, you′re up to something new
