Elton John - Bennie And The Jets Lyrics






Hey, kids, shake it loose together
The spotlight'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?
Ooh, but they're so spaced out
Bennie and the Jets
Oh, 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
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

Oh, Candy and Ronnie. Have you seen them yet?
Ooh, but they're so spaced out
Bennie and the Jets
Oh, 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
Bennie and the Jets

Oh, Candy and Ronnie. Have you seen them yet?
Ooh, but they're so spaced out
Bennie and the Jets
Oh, 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
Bennie and the Jets

Bennie, Bennie and the Jets
Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie and the Jets
Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie and the Jets
Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie and the Jets
Bennie, Bennie and the Jets

    Recorded in a studio in Jamaica.
    Explains that restaforian vibe.
    Classic.
    Pure genius.
    Elton and Bernie killed it.
    In demand on Soul Train.
    England funk.
    'Nuff said.

    The audience noise in the background came from another source. They recorded the song and added the audience audio in later because it timed with the song. Crazy I know but it's written in the greatest hits booklet.

  23. K.... ....

    i'm 57 now and have enjoyed Elton John my whole life.

  37. W.... ....

    In the 40 or so years this has been out, I have yet to find the Headphones, Stereo speaker , car speaker , etc. that goes up loud enough for this song......

  47. M.... ....

    I suggest turning the speed to 1.5x makes for a fun song

  48. A.... j....

    I don’t know why but I just LOVE this song!!!!!🥰

  49. S.... R....

    The thumbs down is from people so deep into this song that they pressed it on accident.

  50. M.... ....

    Sounds very Guardians of the Galaxy worthy 🤔

    b.... ....

    also father john misty

  54. W.... M....

    Never. Get. Old

  55. H.... �....

    VERY similar sound to a Red hot chili peppers song Sick Love, give it a listen ;)



    p.s. Elton played the piano in the song

  56. L.... ....

    honestly this song sucks. I'm a huge Elton fan and can name pretty much all his songs but this is just an instant turnoff for me every time I hear the song.

    L.... ....

    Screw you this song is good zoomer

  57. A.... B....

    Whos here in 2020????

  58. M.... S....

  59. S.... B....

    Brings me back to a time and place. I had the privilege of seeing him preform. Cape Breton Island. ❤️

  60. c.... c....

    I always thought that was "Benny in the Gents" hahaha

  61. k.... ....

    Almost Human brought me back here. Michael Ealy scene with this song...priceless.

  62. J.... M....

    I guess there are 6,800 on this world who don’t know what a good tune is.

  63. O.... ....

    Greatest song ever written, hands down, fck anyone who says otherwise.

  64. H.... K....

    I heard this song today in my drawing class on kshe, couldn't make out any of the words so I looked up the recently played songs on the website, and here it is, kinda surprised its elton john, i love it!

  65. J.... L....

    Playing it 38 times in a row until kicked out of the Kareoke joint.

  66. R.... H....

    i can't explain how happy this song makes me feel

  67. s.... ....

    My elderly mother just confirmed that this is the first song I learned to sing as a baby in the 70s! I swear I remember what the 45 record looks like as though it were yesterday, LOL!

  68. T.... ....

    My friends loved this song they always sang it out loud when they heard it they were older than me I was the youngest one hanging out with these older cool guys from my old block I listened to the words of this great song then I understood why they loved this song so did I

  69. E.... C....

    I heard this last year on radio and couldn’t never find out who it is, I had took look at Mary j song to see where it got sampled from and in shock I saw Elton Jon

  70. a.... t....

    Who's benny?

  71. T.... L....

    Ahh, the memories this brings, made my teens more beautiful. Such a great time in my life!! 🥰

  72. T.... ....

    If you want to experience the full version of the movie version of this song- speed it up to 1.25. It may seem a lil fast, but its the best there is to a full version

  73. D.... L....

    (why did i do this)

    John thought that the single would bomb, but it got massive airplay in Detroit, thanks to a radio station out of Windsor. The organist at the Cobo Arena used to play the piano part during Detroit Pistons games; it was later revived at The Palace in the Grant Hill days.

    Bennie and the Jets is about drugs! Bennie’s were speed once called Black Beauties, and Jets was a form of Amyl Nitrate that gay men sniffed while having sex. So it’s about drugs taken during gay sex and gay romps. Elton John was in the closet when he wrote that song, but afterwards it all came full

    D.... D....

    i think Bernie wrote those lyrics.
