(Chuck Berry)



Tulane and Johnny opened a novelty shop

Back under the counter, was the cream of the crop

Everything was clickin' and the business was good

'Til one day, lo and behold, an officer stood

Johnny jumped the counter but he stumbled and fell

But Tulane made it over Johnny as he yelled



Go ahead on, Tulane, he can't catch up with you

Go Tulane, he ain't man enough for you

Go Tulane, use all the speed you got

Go Tulane, you know you need a lot

Go Tulane, he's laggin' behind

Go 'head on, Tulane go head on



Go by your father's house and tell him business is slow

And see if he will loan us something, soon as he hits the dough

Put the cat out in the hall and rumple up the room

Go by Doctor Keller's, tell him you swallowed some perfume

Tell him we need him quick, 'cuz he may have to testify

That you been sick all day and that's a perfect alibi



Go ahead on, Tulane, he can't catch up with you

Go Tulane, he ain't man enough for you

Go Tulane, use all the speed you got

Go Tulane, you know you need a lot

Go Tulane, he's laggin' behind

Go 'head on, Tulane go head on



Go, let Danny drive in case you run into the Man

Back by the shop and git the stuff and hide it in the van

Go back by your father's, get the money for the bail

And bring it down and bail me out this rotten, funky jail

We gotta get a lawyer in the click of politics

Somebody who can win the thing or get the thing fix



Go ahead on, Tulane, he can't catch up with you

Go Tulane, he ain't man enough for you

Go Tulane, use all the speed you got

Go Tulane, you know you need a lot

Go Tulane, he's laggin' behind

Go 'head on, Tulane go head
