You Can´t Catch Me
Chuck Berry
I bought a brand new airmobile
It was a custom made, it was a flightning deal
With a powerful motor and a hide away wing
Push in on the buttton, you will hear her sing.
Now you can´t catch me
Baby, you can´t catch me
´Cause if you get too close
You know I´m goin´ like a cool breeze.
Well you walk!
You walk!
New Jersey turnpike in the wee wee hours
I was rollin´ slowly ´cause of drizzle showers
Here come a flat-top, he was movin´ up with me
Then come waving goodbye in a little, old souped up jitney
I put my foot in the tank, I began to roll
Moanin´ siren, it was the state patrol
I let out my wings, then I blew my horn
Bye bye, New Jersey, I become airborn.
Now, you can´t catch me
Baby, you can´t catch me
´Cause if you get too close
You know I´m goin´ like a cool breeze.
Well you walk!
Yeah walk!

Flying with my baby last saturday night
Wasn´t a grey cloud floatin´ in sight
Big fool moon shinin´ up above
Cuddle up, honey, be my love
Sweetest little thing that I ever seen
I´m gonna name you Maybellene
Flyin´ on the beam, set on flight control
Radio tuned to rock´n´roll
Two, three hours passed us by
Altitude dropped into five-o-five
Fuel consumption, way too fast
Let´s get on home before we run out of gas.
Now, you can´t catch me
Baby, you can´t catch me
´Cause if you get too close
You know I´m goin´ like a cool breeze.
Git it on!
Yeah walk!
Git it on, git it on, git it on, do it!
Git it on, git it on!
You know you can´t catch me, yeah!
Pozn:"Here come old flat top, here come growing up slowly ..." pokud vám píseň You Can´t Catch Me místy připimíná Lennonovu skladbu Come Together tak je váš hudební sluch naprosto v pořádku. Však byl taky John Lennon za Come Together obviněn z plagiátorství a soudní spor s hudebním publicistou Morrisem Levym prohrál. Z rozhodnutí soudu musel na své album Rock´n´roll(1975) nahrát tři Leviho skladby.
