Too Pooped To Pop

TOO POOPED TO POP As recorded by Chuck Berry (From the 1960 Album ROCKIN’ AT THE HOPS) [Intro]           [Verse 1] Casey is an old man who wants to be a teen He goes to all the dances and they call him cha-cha king He cha-chas when the band is playin’ rock and roll    Eb  N.C. He tries to keep in time but the beat leaves him cold. [Chorus] N.C.         Ab Because he’s too pooped to pop too old a soul Hips gettin’ weaker when he tries to do the stroll And every time his feet get to go in one way Here comes a new dance and it’s goin’ to stray. [Verse 2] Chicks told Casey You better move man This is only a one night stand Casey wasn’t in time but he was dancin’ awhile         Ab N.C. Till a cramp caught his leg and he had to change his style. [Chorus] N.C.         Ab Because he’s too pooped to pop too old a soul Hips gettin’ weaker when he tries to do the stroll And every time his feet get to go in one way Here comes a new dance and it’s goin’ to stray. [Sax Solo]            N..   N.. [Chorus] N.C.         Ab Because he’s too pooped to pop too old a soul Hips gettin’ weaker when he tries to do the stroll And every time his feet get to go in one way Here comes a new dance and it’s goin’ to stray. [Verse 3] Casey finally learned to do the hoochie koo This might have been fine back in ’22 Now I’m gonna give you fellows just a little tip        Eb  N.C. If you wanna keep your girl you’d better get hip [Out-Chorus] N.C.          Ab Or you’ll be too pooped to pop too old a soul You hips are gettin’ weaker when you’ll try to do the stroll And every time your feet gettin’ to go in one way Here comes a new dance you’ll be left to stray.
