It Wasn’t Me Songtext
von Chuck Berry

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

Said he was cold, tired and hungry, came a-begging for bread
The lady took him in and fed him breakfast in bed
It wasn't me, boss
Uhm-uhm, boss, it wasn't me
It must have been some other body
Uh, uh, boss, it wasn′t me

You say you saw my car parked in the drive-in one night
Came over to speak to me, I was out of sight
It wasn′t me, baby
Uhm-uhm, baby, it wasn't me
It must have been some other body
Uh, uh, baby, it wasn′t me


Yes, a shrewd young whipper-snapper love to run and play
But the draft board got him, they inducted him today
It wasn't me, Sarge
Uhm-uhm, Sarge, it wasn′t me
It must have been some other body
Uh, uh, Sarge, it wasn't me

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

Wailing down the freeway, testing out the cruising power
The state trooper trailing, clocked him 90 miles an hour
It wasn′t me, Sheriff
Uhm-uhm, Sheriff, it wasn′t me
Ah, it must have been some other body
Uh, uh, Sheriff, it wasn't me

Calling for brave young soldiers, needed on the front row
Lieutenant said, "Which one of y′all volunteer to go?"
It wasn't me, Captain
Uhm-uhm, Captain, it wasn′t me
It must have been some other body
Uhm-uhm, Captain, it wasn't me
