Club Nitty Gritty Songtext
von Chuck Berry

Well, down in Tennessee, close to Mississippi
About a mile out of Toulouse, on the way to Memphis
There′s a road turning south that's rather rocky and tricky
But it dead-ends right up to the Club Nitty Gritty


They do the Mess Around
The Watusi
The Hully Gully
The Mashed Potato
And oh-oh, they started Twisting
They did the Shimmy
They started Jerking

Oh, Nitty Gritty

Oh, Nitty Gritty

Oh, Nitty Gritty

Almost every night people drive off into the city
All goin′ to cocaine at the club Nitty Gritty
Ow, ow, they did The Philly Dog
On a heat week
