Nadine (is It You?) Lyrics - Chuck Berry

As I got on a city bus and found a vacant seat, 

I thought I saw my future bride walkin' up the street, 

I shouted to the driver "hey conductor, you must slow down. 

I think I see her please let me off this bus" 

Nadine, honey is that you? 

Oh, Nadine. Honey, is that you? 

Seems like every time I see you darling you got something else to do. 

(Alternate verse: Seems like every time I catch up with you, you're up to 

something new) 

I saw her from the corner when she turned and doubled back 

Started walkin' toward a coffee colored Cadillac 

I was pushin'through the crowd to get to where she's at 

I was campaignin', shouting like a southern diplomat. 

Downtown searching for her, looking all around, 

Saw her getting in a yellow cab heading up town. 

I caught a loaded taxi, paid up everybodys' tab. 

Flipped a twenty-dollar bill, told him "catch that yellow cab." 

She moves around like a wayward summer breeze, 

Go, driver, go, go, catch her for me, please. 

Moving through the traffic like a mounted cavalier 

Leaning out the taxi window trying to make her hear.
