Fue un éxito, alcanzando números altos en las listas de éxitos.
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
