Verse 1: 0:27
 Am7        D7
Hey kids, shake it loose together.
      G
The spotlight's hitting something
              G7
That's been known to change the weather.

Am7                      D
  We'll kill the fatted calf tonight,
           Em
So stick around.

        Am
You're gonna hear
          Bm
Electric music,
                C
Solid walls of sound.

Chorus: 0:48
      G
Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet? Ooh,
Am7
  But they're so spaced out.

B-B-B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets.

Oh, but they're weird and they're wonderful.
     Am
Oh, Bennie, she's really keen.

She's got electric boots, a mohair suit;
            Em               Em
You know I read it in a magazine,
    C A#              C        G ->

Verse 2: 1:32
 Am7        D7
Hey kids, plug into the faithless.
 G
Maybe they're blinded,
     G7
But Bennie makes them ageless.

Am7            D
  We shall survive; let us take
            Em
Ourselves along,

          Am
Where we fight our parents out
          Bm
In the streets to find who's right
            C
And who's wrong.
