Charles Edward Anderson "Chuck" Berry (born October 18, 1926) is an immensely influential American guitarist, singer, and composer, and one of the pioneers of rock & roll music. Berry was born in St. Louis, Missouri and was part of the first group to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on its opening in 1986. Though playing what was considered Rhythm & Blues (R & B), in retrospect Berry is now seen by many as more of a rockabilly (rather than R & B) singer. However, he was the real poet of 1950s rock 'n' roll.

Anthony Boy Lyrics
Chuck Berry
Eight oclock in the morning
And Im movin?on out to school;
With an open book and a sleepy look,
The teacher cant be fooled.
I take a pass in an early class,
The teacher will never know,
That I postponed my work at home
Watching the evening show.
Hey, there! Anthony boy, why r?you in such a rush?
The girl she wanna talk to you,
Look at him hes-a blush.
Three oclock in the afternoon
Completes a day of school;
Before the thing can cease the ring,
Hes in the vestibule.
Betty and Barbara and Jeanie and Jane
Are yackity-yackin?with Joan,
About some things that Anthony told
Her over the telephone.
Hey, there! Anthony boy, why r?you in such a rush?
The girl she wanna talk to you,
Look at him hes-a blush.
Hey, there! Anthony boy, why r?you in such a rush?
The girl she wanna talk to you,
Look at him hes-a blush.
Betty told me the secret
That I had told her not to tell;
Now that she knows I know
You know that all is well.
Come come Tony, me boy,
Dont let em get in your hair,
With a good education you may
Become a multi-millionaire.
Hey, there! Anthony boy, why r?you in such a rush?
The girl she wanna talk to you,
Look at him hes-a blush.
