Reeling and Rocking (takes 7-8) Songtext
von Chuck Berry

Some-times I will, then again I think I won′t.
Some-times I will, then again I think I won't.
Some- times I do, then again I think I don′t.

Well, I looked at my watch it was nine twenty one
'twas at a rock 'n′ roll dance havin′ nothin' but fun.
We were rollin′ reelin' and a- rockin′.
We were reelin' and a- rockin′ and rollin' till the break of dawn

Well, I looked at my watch, it was nine thirty-two,

We were reelin′, reelin' and a- rockin′ ...

We were reelin′, reelin' and a-rockin′. ...

Well, I looked at my watch, and to my surprise,
I was dancin' with a woman who was twice my size!
We were reelin', reelin′ and a-rockin′. ...

Well, I looked at my watch, and it was time to go,

We were reelin′, reelin', and a-rockin′...
