|
I've been around and I've seen some things |
|
People moving faster than the speed of sound |
|
Faster than the speeding bullet |
|
People living like Superman, all day and all night |
|
And I won't say if it's wrong or if it's right |
|
I'm pretty fast myself |
|
But I do have some advice to pass along |
|
Right here in the words of this song |
|
You better not look down if you want to keep on flying |
|
Put the hammer down, keep it full speed ahead |
|
You better not look back or you might just wind up crying |
|
You can keep it moving if you don't look down |
|
An old girl friend of mine |
|
Showed up the other day |
|
That girl have lived in love and for love |
|
And over love, and under love all of her life |
|
If the arrows from Cupids bow that had |
|
Passed through her heart had been sticking |
|
Out of her body she would have looked like |
|
A porcupine |
|
And she asked me |
|
"B. B. do you think I've lived my life all wrong?" |
|
And I said, "The only advice I have to pass along |
|
Is concealed in the chorus of this song" |
|
"Girl, better not look down if you want to keep on flying |
|
Put the hammer down, keep it full speed ahead |
|
Better not look back or you might just wind up crying |
|
You can keep it moving if you don't look down" |
|
I was walking down the street |
|
At sunrise one morning n London, England |
|
And there was a very large Rolls Royce Limousine |
|
Pulling slowly along the street |
|
And in that Rolls Royce was |
|
The Queen of England, looking tired |
|
Just go back from a party |
|
And the Queen leaned out and |
|
She said, "Aren't you B.B. King?" she said |
|
Oh B.B., sometimes it's so hard to pull things together |
|
Could you tell me what you think I ought to do? |
|
And I said |
|
"You better not look down if you want to keep on flying |
|
Put the hammer down, keep it full speed ahead |
|
Better not look back or you might just wind up crying |
|
You can keep it moving if you don't look down" |
