Hail! Hail! Rock ‘n’ roll!
Your daddy was born today
Talkin’ Chuck Berry
Chuck was rock’s first king
‘Cause he was no prince, always
Pulling some nonsense
Weapons rap headline
Read: “A gun in his pink car”
Chuck was hard to miss
Duck walkin’, duckin’
Taxes and morals charges
And cops hassling him
Yeah, Chuck was a pain
But could he write, play and sing
Handsome devil, too
“Maybelline” started
String of hits, “Johnnie B. Goode”
Proved Chuck was real deal
He was hard to love
And is to this day, but he
Paved the rock highway
So just give me some
Of that rock ‘n’ roll music
And give Chuck his due
Dibs on all the dance moves on this one:
