ANTHONY BOY (Chuck Berry) CHUCK BERRY (CHESS 1716, 1959) Eight o'clock in the morning And I'm movin' on out to school With an open book and a sleepy look The teacher can't be fooled I took a pass in the early class The teacher will never know That I postponed my work at home Watching the evening show Hey there Anthony boy Why are you in such a rush (go!) The girl, she wanna talk to you Look at him, he's a-blush (go!) Three o'clock in the afternoon Completes the day of school Before the ding can feast a ring He's in the vestibule Betty and Barbara and Jeannie and Jane Are yakety-yakkin' with Joan About some things that Anthony told her Over the telephone Here there, Tony me boy Why are you in such a rush (go!) The girl, she wanna talk to you Look at him, he's a-blush (go!) Hey there Anthony boy Why are you in such a rush (go!) The girl, she wanna talk to you Look at him, how he blush (go!) Betty told Lee the second that I Had told her not to tell Now that you know, she knows I know You know that all is well Calm down, Tony me boy Don't let them get in your hair With a good education You may become a multi miljonaire Hey there Anthony boy Why are you in such a rush (go!) The girl, she wanna talk to you Look at him, he's a-blush (go!) |
