->LYRICS:
1st VERSE: 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
CHORUS: ’Cause I'm a speed king you go to hear me sing Yeah, I'm a speed king see me fly
2nd VERSE: Saturday night and I just got paid Gonna fool about ain't gonna save People gonna rock, 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
3rd VERSE: 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 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
