Too Pooped To Top Songtext
von Chuck Berry

Casey is an old man who wants to be a teen
He goes to all the dances, and they call him cha-cha King
He cha-chas when the band is playin′ rock 'n′ roll
He tries to keep in time, but the beat leaves him cold

Because he's too pooped to pop, is too old-school
Hips gettin' weaker when he tries to do this stroll
And every time his feet get to go in one way
Here comes a new dance, and it′s goin′ to stray

Chicks told Casey, "You better move man"
This is only a one-night stand
Casey wasn't in time, but he was dancin′ awhile
'Til a cramp caught his leg and he had to change his style


Because he′s too pooped to pop, is too old-school
Hips gettin' weaker when he tries to do this stroll
And every time his feet get to go in one way
Here comes a new dance, and it′s goin' to stray

Because he's too pooped to pop, is too old-school
Hips gettin′ weaker when he tries to do this stroll
And every time his feet get to go in one way
Here comes a new dance, and it′s goin' to stray

Casey finally learned to do the hoochie koo
This might have been fine back in ′22
Now, I'm gonna give you fellows just a little tip
If you wanna keep your girl, you′ll better get hip

Or you'll be too pooped to pop, too old-school
You hips are gettin′ weaker when you'll try to do the stroll
And every time your feet gettin' to go in one way
Here comes a new dance and you′ll be left to stray
