Reelin' And Rockin'

(album: The London Chuck Berry Sessions - 1972)

Sometimes I will, then again I think I won't
Sometimes I will, then again I think I won't
Sometimes I do, then again I think I don't

Well I looked at my watch, it was 9:21
We was at a rock'n'roll dance having nothing but fun
And we rolled, reeling and a rocking
We was reeling and a rocking
Rolling till the break of dawn

Well I looked at my watch, it was 9:32
There's nothing I would rather do than dance with you
And we rolled, reeling and a rocking
We was reeling and a rocking
Rolling till the break of dawn

Well I looked at my watch, it was 9:43
And everytime I spinned she would spin with me
And we rolled, reeling and a rocking
We was reeling and a rocking
Rolling till the break of dawn

Well I looked at my watch, it was 9:54
I said, " Dance ballerina girl, go go go!"
And we rolled, reeling and a rocking
We was reeling and a rocking
Rolling till the break of dawn

Well I looked at my watch, it was 10:05
Man, I didn't know if I was dead or alive
And I was rolling, reeling and a rocking
We was reeling and a rocking
Rolling till the break of dawn

Well I looked at my watch, it was 10:26
But I'm gonna keep on dancing toll I get my kicks
And we reeled, reeling and a rocking
We was reeling and a rocking
Rolling till the break of dawn

Well I looked at my watch, it was 10:28
I gotta get my kicks before it get too late
And we was reeling, reeling and a rocking
We was reeling and a rocking
Rolling till the break of dawn

Well I looked at my watch, it was 10:29
I had to hold her hand, she was still holding mine
And we reeled, reeling and a rocking
We was reeling and a rocking
Rolling till the break of dawn

Well I looked at my watch and to my surprise
I was dancing with a woman that was twice my size
I was reeling, reeling and a rocking
We was reeling and a rocking
Rolling till the break of dawn

Well I looked at my watch and it was time to go
The bandleader said " We ain't playing no more "
And we was reeling, reeling and a rocking
We was reeling and a rocking
Well till the break of dawn
