[Verse 1: Johnny B. Goode]
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
Stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
Never ever learned to write so well
But he could play a guitar and he could sure give it hell

[Chorus]
Go, go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go
Go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go Johnny go
Go, good Lord, Johnny B. Goode

[Instrumental Break]
Play your guitar, Killer

[Verse 2]
His mama told him someday you will be a man
The big ol' leader of a stud-hoss band
Many people gonna come to see you from miles around
Hear you playin' your mother-humpin' music when the sun's goin' down
Maybe someday, son, you gonna be in lights
Whoo! Give it to me, let's a-hang it in tonight

[Chorus]
Go!
Go-go-go-go-go-go, Johnny, go go
Go! Good Lord, Johnny B. Goode
[Instrumental Break]
Kenneth Lovelace, break it now!

[Chorus: Carol]
Whoa, Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
We gotta learn to dance if it takes all night and day

[Verse 1]
Climb into my Rolls-Royce, and we can move on out
I know a mother-humpin' joint, we can sing and shout
It ain't so far away honey, up in the edge of the woods
If it gets too hot inside, we'll make it real good
A little humble woman takes your hat and gives you somethin' else
But she damn sure won't leave you hangin' up on a shelf

[Chorus]
Ohh, Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
We gotta get it, get it, give it to me, gotta have it, if it takes all night and day

[Instrumental Break]
Whoa, yeah
Whoa, whoo

[Bridge]
Carol
Carol
Carol
Carol
Carol
Carol
Carol
Car-ol
Carol
Carol
Carol
Carol
Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
Play your harp, son
[Chorus]
Oh, Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
I got to, got to learn to dance if it takes me all night and day
Whoa, Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
I gotta learn to dance if it takes all night and day

[Interlude]
I can play my piano, I can do it real good
Jerry Lee Lewis ain't no fool, I can
If I can't get it you can forget it 'cause it can't be got, and I thank God I can still hang it in
Ladies and Gentlemen, I hope you enjoyed, this is the Grand Ole Opry
In Memphis, Tennessee at Sun Records
Hot a' mighty
Seventeen years ago, Sam Philips cut a record on me called "Crazy Arms"
And I'll be damned if time ain't waitin' on nobody
I look in yonder, and
There's his son, Knox Philips
Hangin' it in like Gunga Din

[Chorus]
Oh, Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
I gotta learn to dance if it takes me all night and day

[Yodeling]

[Outro]
Cool it!
Oh, Carol, don't let me steal your heart away
I've got to hang it in, baby, if it takes all night and day
Ohh!
