CHUCK BERRY CALLS VERIZON AND GETS THE IDEA FOR "MY DING-A-LING"

CHUCK: [ring]

RUTH: What city and state, please?

CHUCK: Help me, Information, get in touch with my Marie . . .

RUTH: What city and state, sir?

CHUCK: She's the only one who'd phone me here, from Memphis, Tennessee . . .

RUTH: I need a last name and address, please.

CHUCK: Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge,
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge.

RUTH: Is Marie a last name? I have several Maries in Memphis,
but I do need a street address.

CHUCK: Help me, Information, more than that I cannot add,
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had.

RUTH: There's a Ron Marie on Beale Street, a Louis Marie on Elm,
a Joseph Marie on Third, a Bernard Marie on Commerce. . .

CHUCK: But we were pulled apart because her Mom did not agree,
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee.

RUTH: A Marie's Wedding Shop on Eleventh, a Marie's Git & Go on Oakley . . .

CHUCK: Help me, Information, get in touch with my Marie . . .

RUTH: A Marie's Tavern on Second, a Marie's Arcade on Jackson . . .
