->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
