Lyrics of
Bennie And The Jets

Bennie and the Jets is a song by Elton John, written by John and Bernie Taupin. It was released in 1973 as part of the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album. The song was inspired by Taupins fascination with the glamor and attitude of 70s rock stars, merged with a critique of the music industrys increasing commercialization. It was a hit, reaching high on the charts.

Hey kids, shake it loose together,
the spolight´s hitting something
that´s been known to change the weather
We´ll kill the fatted calf tonight
so stick around,
you´re gonna hear electric music, solid walls of sound

Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
but they´re so spaced out, Bennie and the jets,
but they´re weird and they´re wonderful,
oh, Bennie she´s really keen

she´s got electric boots a mohair suit,
you know I read it in a magazine,
oh! Bennie and the jets

Hey kids, plug into the faithless,
maybe they´re 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 who´s right and who´s wrong

Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
but they´re so spaced out, Bennie and the jets,
but they´re weird and they´re wonderful,
oh, Bennie she´s really keen

she´s got electric boots a mohair suit,
you know I read it in a magazine,
oh! Bennie and the jets
Bennie Bennie Bennie Bennie Bennie and the jets
