Our Little Rendezvous
Chuck Berry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello little Suzie, hello little Suzie
Can I walk home with, can I walk home with you ?
To see will your mother and your father
Let us have a rendezvous

'Cause I want you to be my, be my little loved one
I will be true to you, to you my love, in every way
And in our little rendezvous we'll have
A beautiful wedding day

Then I'll build a spaceship with a heavy payload
We'll go 'bip-bip-bip' way out in the wide open blue
Where we can love one another
In our little rendezvous

We'll take a basket, a short wave radio
A-tunin' on the record shows all over the whole wide world
And in our little rendezvous there'll be
A happy boy and girl

We'll kiss the moon, my love, go around the world
We'll send a signal back to mom and dad from me and you
Tell them they'll soon have a grandson
In our little rendezvous





Bip-bip-bip, bip-bip-bip
Bip-bip, bip-bip...

on Little Marie (Alternate)

Yes, oh yes, Long Distance, I'll accept the charge, I'll pay
Which love one is calling me, I did not hear you say.
Both are deep within my hearth, her Mom and my Marie

It so good to hear your voice from Memphis, Tennessee

Oh, you mean so much to me, more than you'll ever know,
Surely, you have not forgot how much I love you so
If you would remember, Dear, and sometimes talk to me
Maybe that would reunite our home in Tennessee.

Last time I saw you, just before I had to leave
You did not want to see me off and promised not to grieve,
My hearth was tore apart as I looked back at my Marie
And there the peace is still remain with you in Tennessee.

I guess I should stop talking, after all you placed the call
But anyway that I can help, you know I'll help you all


Then she spoke and asked me to come back and see Marie
And live together in our home in Memphis, Tennessee.
