Lyrics
[Verse 1: Elton John] Penniman and Macon go together Singing loud sweet Georgia, ooh, my soul Black mascara thicker than molasses Sex and sinners take a toll Freedom feathers falling from old Jim Crow Got the Mississippi Blues on the radio Big Easy baking in the red-hot sun Rock and roll to number one [Chorus: Elton John & Brandi Carlile] Little Richard woke up wanting (Wanting) To cast off sex and idols God whispered in his ear, "Come on over here Son, get yourself a Bible" Pompadour piled high to the sky Christ is coming by and by Long Tall Sally, my, oh my He's got the good book by his side [Post-Chorus: Elton John] Yeah, yeah, yeah (Ooh) Yeah, yeah, yeah (Ooh) [Verse 2: Elton John, Elton John & Brandi Carlile] With Richard and the Devil divided The Holy Word from Heaven's hands The sound of sweet salvation Ringing in the ears of every man Made up, looking pretty Vanity won't prevail It's hot down south, but shut your mouth Grab that old boy by the tail [Chorus: Elton John & Brandi Carlile] Little Richard woke up wanting (Wanting) To cast off sex and idols God whispered in his ear, "Come on over here Son, get yourself a Bible" Pompadour piled high to the sky Christ is coming by and by Long Tall Sally, my, oh my He's got the good book by his side [Bridge: Elton John] Oh Oh, yeah Come on, over here Come on, come on Yeah Oh, yeah [Outro: Elton John & Brandi Carlile] Ba-doo-dee-dom-doo-day Oh, tutti-frutti
