CHUCK BERRY - Tell You About My Buddy lyrics

rate me

I'm goin' tell you about my buddy

But I'm not goin' reveal his name

'Cause it's his life to live and he's livin' it

Claim it to fame or a game of shame

To each his own let nim live it

But there are those who may not agree

But I goin' tell you about my buddy

Ev'ry thing like he told it to me

A woman's the most peculiar creature

And so few has missed his hand

And out of all the ones that he's been with

You know, not one wouldn't take him again

Before you really know a sensuous woman

You have to be with her when she's alone

She could say no and then want you to leave her

And call you right back home after you're gone

You never can tell until after you've tried her

And then you might still be way off the track

Because it's the red and the white and the yellow

Has exactly what's packed in the black

One was a co-ed from Pennsylvania

One from Toronto who dug him the most

One was a rich widow in Houston

And one was a freak from the western coast

One was a teacher out of Chicago

And one had plans to become a nun

And one was the last one I thought he'd cling to

But she was tahe one who gave him a son

So people, I'll tell you 'bout my buddy

And like I say, I just can't reveal his name

It's his life and he's gonna live it

Claim it to fame or game or shame

Claim it fame or game or shame

Just a game or fame or shame

Fame or game or shame

Fame or game or shame

Fame or game or shame

Claim it fame or game or shame
