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 

I'm a speed king you go to hear me sing 
I'm a speed king see me fly 

Saturday night and I just got paid 
Gonna fool about ain't gonna save 
Some people gonna rock some 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 

[repeat first two stanzas in inverse order] 
				

Sweet child in time you'll see the line 
The line that's drawn between the good and the bad 
See the blind man shooting at the world 
Bullets flying taking toll 
If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have 
And you've been hit by flying lead 
You'd better close your eyes and bow your head 
And wait for the ricochet 
				

[Instrumental]
				

I've got a Mandrake Root
It's some thunder in my brain
I feed it to my babe
She thunders just the same
Food of love sets her flame
Ah, stick it up

I've got the Mandrake Root
Baby's just the same
She still feels a quiver
She's still got the flame
She slows down, slows right down
I've got the power 
				

Nobody gonna take my car 
I'm gonna race it to the ground 
Nobody gonna beat my car 
It's gonna break the speed of sound 
Oooh it's a killing machine 
It's got everything 
Like a driving power big fat tyres 
and everything 

I love it and I need it 
I bleed it yeah it's a wild hurricane 
Alright hold tight 
I'm a highway star 

Nobody gonna take my girl 
I'm gonna keep her to the end 
Nobody gonna have my girl 
She stays close on every bend 
Oooh she's a killing machine 
She's got everything 
Like a moving mouth body control 
and everything 

I love her I need her 
I seed her 
Yeah She turns me on 
Alright hold on tight 
I'm a highway star 

Nobody gonna take my head 
I got speed inside my brain 
Nobody gonna steal my head 
Now that I'm on the road again 
Oooh I'm in heaven again I've got everything 
Like a moving ground an open road 
and everything 

I love it and I need it 
I seed it 
Eight cylinders all mine 
Alright hold on tight 
I'm a highway star 

Nobody gonna take my car 
I'm gonna race it to the ground 
Nobody gonna beat my car 
It's gonna break the speed of sound 
Oooh it's a killing machine 
It's got everything 
Like a driving power big 
fat tyres and everything 

I love it and I need it 
I bleed it 
Yeah it's a wild hurricane 
Alright hold on tight 
I'm a highway star 
I'm a highway star 
I'm a highway star 
				

There once was a woman
A strange kind of woman
The kind that gets a'written down in history
Her name was Nancy
Her face was nothing fancy
She left a trail of happiness and misery

I loved her
Everybody loved her
She loved everyone and gave them good return
I tried to take her
I even tried to break her
She said I ain't for takin' won't you ever learn

I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
Oh I got a strange kind of woman

She looked like a raver
But I could never please her
On Wednesday mornings boy you can't go too far
I couldn't get her
But things got better
She said Saturday nights from now on baby you're my star

She finally said she loved me
I wed her in a hurry
No more callers and I glowed with pride
I'm dreaming
I feel like screaming
I won my woman just before she died

I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
Oh I had a strange kind of woman
				

Peeping round the door I got a big surprise 
Couldn't see a thing but open skies 
They've taken her away where is she now 

Wish that she was here wish she'd hold my hand 
Maybe she could laugh maybe understand 
Why was I so cruel where is she now 

Acting like a fool I had to make her cry 
Maybe I'm a Leo but I ain't a lion 
I'm hurting oh so bad, I want her now 
				

Somebody Somebody 
Come to my side 
I'm tired I'm crying 
I'm sick inside 
My woman that woman 
Just wasn't right 

CHORUS 

Help me now please my friend 
I never felt so bad before 
Never never before 

So funny so funny 
Just like a show 
One name two people 
All in a row 
Somebody Somebody 
Someone must go 

Chorus 

I was hurt when I was younger 
By a woman who was cold 
She took my name 
She took my body 
And she threw away my soul 

Can't hide I can't hide my misery 
I know my sorrow won't set me free 
She did it d'you see she did it to me 

Help me now please my friend 
I never felt so bad before 
Never never before 
				

You're lazy just stay in bed 
You're lazy just stay in bed 
You don't want no money 
You don't want no bread 

If you're drowning you don't clutch no straw 
If you're drowning you don't clutch no straw 
You don't want to live you don't want to cry no more 

Well my trying ain't done no good 
I said my trying ain't done no good 
You don't make no effort no not like you should 

Lazy you just stay in bed 
Lazy you just stay in bed 
You don't want no money 
You don't want no bread 
				

We had a lot of luck on Venus 
We always had a ball on Mars 
Meeting all the groovey people 
We've rocked the Milky Way so far 
We danced around with Borealice 
We're space truckin' round the the stars 
Come on let's go Space Truckin' 

Remember when we did the moonshot 
And Pony Trekker led the way 
We'd move to the Canaveral moonstop 
And everynaut would dance and sway 
We got music in our solar system 
We're space truckin' round the stars 
Come on let's go Space Truckin' 

The fireball that we rode was moving 
But now we've got a new machine 
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah the freaks said 
Man those cats can really swing 
They got music in their solar system 
They've rocked around the Milky Way 
They dance around the Borealice 
They're Space Truckin' everyday 
Come on 
				

We all came out to Montreux 
On the Lake Geneva shoreline 
To make records with a mobile 
We didn't have much time 
Frank Zappa and the Mothers 
Were at the best place around 
But some stupid with a flare gun 
Burned the place to the ground 
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky 

They burned down the gambling house 
It died with an awful sound 
Funky Claude was running in and out 
Pulling kids out the ground 
When it all was over 
We had to find another place 
But Swiss time was running out 
It seemed that we would lose the race 
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky 

We ended up at the Grand Hotel 
It was empty cold and bare 
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside 
Making our music there 
With a few red lights and a few old beds 
We make a place to sweat 
No matter what we get out of this 
I know we'll never forget 
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky 
				

Lucille, come back where you belong. 
Oh, Lucille, come back where you belong. 
I ain't nothing to ya, sing you such a beautiful song.

I woke up this morning, Lucille was not in sight. 
I asked her friends about her but all their lips were tight. Lucille, come back where you belong. 
I ain't nothing to ya, sing you such a beautiful song.
