 ->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
