IS THIS CHUCK BERRY- lyric (words & music Alan Merrill)

I was walking down the street at 48th and 7th avenue
when a brown eyed handsome man passed by
looked like somebody I knew, and written on his guitar case
even said CB too!
I said "is this Chuck Berry?" Hey was that Chuck Berry?
I want to meet the man, I want to shake his hand
Is this Chuck Berry looking good in my neighborhood?
Well I started to catch up but those long legs were striding fast
I was gaining just a little when he started waving for a cab
Then he got right in a taxi and he smiled as it drive on past.
I said "is this Chuck Berry?" Hey was that Chuck Berry?
I want to meet the man, I want to shake his hand
Is this Chuck Berry looking good in my neighborhood?
Is this Chuck Berry?
Hey was that Chuck Berry?
Well, if that was Chuck Berry
he was lookin' good in my neighborhood.

From the 1997 Vodka Collins Pink Soup album

I miss the call and response backing vocals that are on the record.

The pink soup album had just come out so I guess the audience didnt know the song!

I think he sings "at 48th and 7th avenue" not 46th in the first verse . (( :
