Thanks for the lyrics, Joe, but I've got to question one thing. At the bottom you have a note: "Performed by 'Chuck Berry' (1955)". I'm not aware that Chuck Berry ever recorded it, and doubt that he performed it that year. Was that a misprint (perhaps mixing up Richard Berry and Chuck Berry) or is that indeed correct?

I did read that Chuck Berry's "Havana Moon" was Richard Berry's inspiration in writing "Louie, Louie". Apparently Richard B. really liked the Carribean (sp?) feel of "Havana Moon" and wanted to write a song with similar character. "Louie, Louie" was the result.
