Maybeline (Alan Freed Show, 1956)

And here is the guy that is just the greatest

Chuck Berry and Maybelline

Maybellene, why can't you be true?

Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true?

You done started back doing the things you used to do

As I was motorvatin' over the hill

I saw Maybellene in a Coupe DeVille

A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road

Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford

The Cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five

She's bumper to bumper rollin' side by side

Maybellene, why can't you be true?

Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true?

You done started back doing the things you used to do

Maybellene, why can't you be true?

Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true?

You done started back doing the things you used to do

Peeped in the mirror at the top of the hill

Just like swallowing a medical pill

First thing I saw was that Cadillac

Doing 110 droppin' over that hill

Off hill turn, downhill stretch

Me and that Cadillac neck at neck

Maybellene, why can't you be true?

Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true?

You done started back doing the things you used to do

Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true

Maybellene, why can't you be true

You done started back doing the things you used to do

Wow

Chuck Berry and his current baton

Right back at the mic with roll over
