It Wasn’t Me
Chuck Berry
[Chorus]
It wasn't me, baby; no, it wasn't me, baby
It must have been some other body, uh uh, baby, it wasn't me

[Verse 1]
Said he was cold, tired and hungry, came a-begging for bread
The lady took him in and fed him breakfast in bed

[Chorus]
It wasn't me, boss; mmm-mmm, boss, it wasn't me
It must have been some other body, uh uh, boss, it wasn't me

[Verse 2]
You say you saw my car parked in the drive-in one night
Came over to speak to me, I was out of sight

[Chorus]
It wasn't me, baby, mmm-mmm, baby, it wasn't me
It must have been some other body, uh uh, baby, it wasn't me

[Verse 3]
Yes, a shrewd young whipper snapper love to run and play
But the draft board got him, they inducted him today
[Chorus]
It wasn't me, Sergeant; mmm, Sergeant, it wasn't me
It must have been some other body, uh uh, Sarge, it wasn't me

[Verse 4]
I met a German girl in England who was going to school in France
Said we danced in Mississippi at a Alpha Kappa dance

[Chorus]
It wasn't me, Officer; no, Officer, it wasn't me
It must have been some other body, uh uh, Officer, it wasn't me

[Verse 5]
Wailing down the freeway, testing out the cruising power
The state trooper trailing, clocked him ninety miles per hour

[Chorus]
It wasn't me, Sheriff; mmm-mmm, Sheriff, it wasn't me
Ah! It must have been some other body, uh uh, Sheriff, it wasn't me

[Verse 6]
Calling for brave young soldiers, needed on the front row
Lieutenant said, "Which one of y'all volunteer to go?"

[Chorus]
It wasn't me, Captain; mmm-mmm, Captain, it wasn't me
It must have been some other body, mmm-mmm, Captain, it wasn't me
