Lyrics Lyrics....name THIS tune and artiste

Go by your father house and tell him the business is slow
And see if he will loan us something, soon as he hits the dough.
Put the cat out in the hall and rumple up the room
Go by Doctor Keller, tell him you swallowed some perfume
Tell him we need him quick, cuz he may have to testify
That you been sick all day and that's a perfect alibi

Go, let Danny drive in case you run into the Man
Back by the shop and get the stuff and hide it in the van
Go back by your father, get the money for the bail
And bring it down and bail me out this rotten, funky jail
We gotta get a lawyer in the click of politics
Somebody who can win the thing or get the thing fix

I actually LOVED this song but HATED the artist. Wonder if it's been covered? probably. Ok any idea of the year also?

Try and fool me by leaving out the chorus, eh? Well, it worked, I had to google for that one (Tulane)

It's a Chuck Berry song, which is where I know it from (1970) - but it was covered by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts on 'Up your Alley' in 1988 (you can listen to an extract here - http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000026IJ/102-5325023-4844938?v=glance )
