Well thinkin' of my school days, I remember Maybeline
 Used to dance with her all night she was little sweet sixteen
 Her brother used to chase me 
 He thought I did, but I never could
 I used to call him Little Queenie
 His name was Johnnie B. Good

 I used to hold her 'til I was older
 Then I got bolder, 
 Her brother used to scold her
 I left there in the mornin'
 Went back to Memphis, Tennessee
 You know her brother never found me
 And that's all right with me 

 I went to New York City to find what could be found
 Just for kicks down sixty six, stopped in L.A. Town
 Yes I went to California just to see what I could see
 Well nobody knew just where I was
 And that's alright with me
 You know I met a girl named Carol
 And her girlfriend sweet Nadine,
 Played the rock n' roll music 
 Used to kiss me in between 
 Roll over Beethoven that happened to be her favorite song
 But we never did much rollin'
 I didn't stay there long

 I used to hold her and try to mold her
 Somebody told her, Nadine and I were bolder
 I left there in the mornin'
 Went back to Memphis, Tenneessee
 You know, I never saw her face again
 And that's alright with me

 Repeat
