Johnny Rivers, “Memphis, Tennessee.” It’s probably innocent and a surprise ending, but these days, who knows?
Help me, information
More than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her
And all the fun we had
Marie is only six years old
Information, please
Try to put me through to her
In Memphis, Tennessee
And the operator says, ‘40 cents more for the next 3 minutes’
Written and performed by Chuck Berry in 1959. Also covered by the Beatles.
It is innocent. If the lyrics regarding “six year old” “her mom” & “happy home” aren’t enough to convince, check the lyrics for Chuck Berry’s (the songwriter) sequel “Little Marie.”
