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

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

Yeah, yeah, yeah (ooh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (ooh)

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

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

Oh
Oh, yeah
Come on, over here
Come on, come on
Yeah
Oh, yeah

Ba-doo-dee-dom-doo-day
Oh, tutti-fruit
