Текст песни Elton John - Bennie And The Jets (MCA '73) - Синглы / Single_s

MCA Records, 1973, USA, UK, Canada, Mexico

#Еltоn_Jоhn был против выпуска на сингле собственной песни Benny And The Jets (которая добродушно высмеивает моду на #glam и спета от имени восторженного фана некой вымышленной #glаm группы Bennie & Jets). Но песню с первого двойного альбома #Elton_John'a неожиданно активно стали раскручивать диджеи на радио в Америке и Канаде, где она возглавила чарты. За пару лет было продано почти 3 миллиона копий. А на тогдашних концертах песня стала одним из ударных номеров программы.

Hey kids, shake it loose together
The spotlights hitting something
Thats been known to change the weather
Well kill the fatted calf tonight
So stick around
Youre gonna hear electric music
Solid walls of sound

Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
Oh But theyre so spaced out, Bennie and the Jets
Oh but theyre weird and theyre wonderful
Oh Bennie shes really keen
Shes got electric boots a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine
Bennie and the Jets

Hey kids, plug into the faithless
Maybe theyre blinded
But Bennie makes them ageless
We shall survive, let us take ourselves along
Where we fight our parents out in the streets
To find out whos right and whos wrong

Oh, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
Oh But theyre so spaced out, Bennie and the Jets
Oh but theyre weird and theyre wonderful
Oh Bennie shes really keen
Shes got electric boots a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine
Bennie and the Jets
REPEAT
