歌曲歌詞
Hey ay ay ay
Hey ay ay ay
You get a lot of girl singers obsessed with
Aretha
You get a lot of little swingers wishin' they could be her
Some of those sisters can rock and roll
All God's children gotta little bit of soul
But not that much no no no not that much
You get a lot of fat christians you want to throw to the lions
Put 'em in a barrel roll 'em off the top of mount Zion
Ignorant acceptance is their only aim
With Jesus your life'll be better they claim
But not that much no no no not that much
Yeah
But now when you hear
Aretha singing on some advertisement
Or with a big fussy band on some rock 'n' roll museum concert
She's still got the lungs and the dress and the stole
You might even say the girl's still got soul
But not that much no no no not that much
You get a lot of so monkeys swingin' from the treetops
You get a lot of little flunks singin' on top of the pops
Some of them appear in the gutter press
Tellin' you their lives are in a mess
But not that much no no no not that much
You get a lot of little stringers pullin' out their penknives
Cuttin' up history jugglin' with lives
Bein' a reporter is a glamorous trade
You don't even have to tell the truth to get paid
Well not that much no no no not that much
But now when you hear
Aretha singing on some advertisement
Or with a big fussy band on some rock and roll
Hall of fame concert
She's still got the lungs and the dress and the stole
You might even say the girl's still got soul
But not that much no no no not that much
Hey ay ay ay
Hey ay ay ay
Said with re sir
Said with re sir with that much
Na na na that much
Na na na that much
