Claudette Lyrics

Oh-oh Claudette
Oh-oh Claudette

I got a brand new baby and I feel so good
She loves me even better than I thought she would
I'm on my way to her house an I'm plumb outta breath
A-when I see her tonight I'm gonna squeeze her to death

[Chorus]
Claudette, pretty little babe Claudette
Never makes me wait Claudette
She's the greatest little girl that I've ever met
I get the best lovin'[ that I'll ever get
From Claudette, pretty little babe Claudette
Oh oh Claudette

Well I'm a lucky man my baby treats me right
Sheâ??s gonna let me hug and kiss and hold her tight
When the date is over and we're at her front door
When I kiss her good night I'll holler more more more

[Chorus]

When me an my new baby have a date or three
I'm gonna ask my baby if she'll marry me
I'm gonna be so happy for the rest of my life
When my brand new baby is my brand new wife

[Chorus]

Claudette

This song was written by Roy Orbison as a rocking tribute to his wife Claudette. It was the first major songwriting success for the then unknown Big O, who subsequently terminated his contract with Sun Records and affiliated himself with the Everly's publisher, Acuff-Rose Music.

The flip side of "All I Have to Do Is Dream," this was listed with the A-side though most of the record's chart action in the UK so it is recognized there as a #1 hit. Phil Everly said: "The idea was always to put the best up-tempo song and the best ballad back to back. When we were in Chicago, we asked Roy if he'd got a song for us. He gave us 'Claudette.'"

This was a number of hits for the Everlys about girls. Don and Phil charted with songs about Susie, Claudette, Mary, Jenny, Cathy, Lucille and Ebony.
