Good Golly, said little Miss Molly
When she was rockin' in the house of blue light
Tutti Frutti was oh so rooty
When she was rockin' to the east and west
Lucille was oh so real
When she didn't do her daddies will
Come on baby, drive me crazy--do it, do it
I'm a speed king you go to hear me sing
I'm a speed king see me fly
Saturday night and I just got paid
Gonna fool about ain't gonna save
Some people gonna rock some people gonna roll
Gonna have a party to save my soul
Hard headed woman and a soft hearted man
They been causing trouble since it all began
Take a little rice take a little beans
Gonna rock and roll down to New Orleans
[repeat first two stanzas in inverse order]
Gotta black breast Chinese eyes Got an English brain that's gonna make me wise Got a long story that I wanna tell To a rhythm that I know so well Really got a lot of lovin' that I wanna give Baby I'm a mystery but you know I gotta live I tried another but she didn't want to know Take a hold now if you can Take a lesson from a hard lovin' man I'm a long way from where I wanna go Guess I'll stay awhile I really love you so How's about another sip of all the wine you got Take a tip from me and give it here I'll drink the lot I'm not a winey, I'm a puttin' on a show You really really grab me but I've gotta move Before they know I'm here and spread the news Maybe in while when I've moved around I can find a way to pay you back your twenty pounds Really got a lot of lovin' that I wanna give Baby I'm a mystery but you know I gotta live I tried another but she didn't want to know
Sweet child in time you'll see the line The line that's drawn between the good and the bad See the blind man shooting at the world Bullets flying taking toll If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have And you've been hit by flying lead You'd better close your eyes and bow your head And wait for the ricochet
Spread the word around The rat is leaving town The message is a song The misery is gone Once I had a dream To sing before the queen She didn't want to know She wouldn't see the show What a fright I couldn't do it right Oh what a night Mystic demons fly All about the sk With memories of a clown The saddest show in town When I was seventeen Me mother said to me Be careful what you touch You shouldn't take so much I blew my mind She was so kind I could have cried In my mind I had to fin A kind of new way Of being oh so cool Like a blue blooded Well studded English fool Speak about the past Times are changing fast Once I was so weak I couldn't even speak Shaking put a curse Nothing could be worse Walking through the door Who could ask for more Now I'm free And I can see That I am me Spread the word around The rat is leaving town The message is a song The misery is gone Shaking out a curse Nothing could be worse Walking through the door Who could ask for more Now I'm free And I can see That I am me Please stay away
Take the trouble to decide the things you do Will not be the things that don't appeal to you See the mess your makin' can't you see your fakin' Gonna make it hard for you, you're gonna--into the fire Turn on the mandrake that was given to you See if you can make it like the others do Feel the blood a knockin' when you're finger poppin' Gonna make it hard for you, you're gonna--into the fire Stop your bleeding mind before it's over and done Listen very closely to the message I've sung Feel the blood a knockin' when you're finger poppin' Gonna get a message through, you're gonna--into the fire
You came along for a weekend But you only stayed for one night You pulled off your hair You took out your teeth Oh I almost died of fright You'd better do something for your own sake Yes it's a shame Ah you know you're a living wreck You said you were a virgin Full of promise and mystery But I know that you Would bring me down 'Cos everyone calls you big G You'd better do something for your own sake Yes it's a shame Ah you know you're a living wreck
Break my back with hard lovin' Take my hand and keep movin' Don't slow down we're nearly there now Oh can you stand the pain I'm a hard lovin' man What's your name? It's alright now Trick or treat we're uptight now Wanna feel ya I wanna hear ya Oh here we go again I'm a hard lovin' man Come back here it's not over Can't you see there's still time girl I can last make if fast now Oh gotta catch a train I'm a hard lovin' man
