Original handwritten lyrics of Elton John's "Bennie and the Jets" TAUPIN, BERNIE. Autograph Manuscript Initialed ("BJT"), 3 pp, 4to, [Chateau D'Hérouville, France], January 5, 1973, written in red felt-tip marker on typing paper, very mild toning, lower right corner of page 2 creased. With "Bennie and the Jets" sheet music. Provenance: Collection of Maxine Taupin. "Bennie and the Jets" was the third single from the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album, one that Elton John was reluctant to release because he feared it was too strange for the airways. A bit of a satire of the rock and roll industry, the song is written in the voice of a fan of the make-believe glam rock band, Bennie and the Jets. In a Rolling Stone interview, Taupin said, "I saw Bennie and the Jets as a sort of proto-sci-fi punk band, fronted by an androgynous woman, who looks like something out of a Helmut Newton photograph." This draft includes a second stanza about Candy and Ronnee thumbing a ride to the show that did not make it into the final song. I wish to now if you can shake it loose Bennie and the Jets Hey kids, shake it loose together the spotlights hitting something thats been nown to change the weather and we'll kill the fatted calf tonight so everbody you should stick around Your going to hear electric music Solid walls of sound. And there so wierd, Benny and the Jets music mutations Say Candy and Ronee have you seen them yet Wow but there so spaced out Benny and the Jets And there so weird and wonderful oh Bennie she's really keen She got electric boots and a mohair suit I know it; I read it in a magazine Dee da da Candy and Ronnee both thumbed down a Cadillac inquired if the driver could take them aways Mary he was happy to help them but felt from there presence there was something incredibly wrong and inside his head he heard a voice speak Why not try to tune in the family faithless they'll never turn a blind eye some day they won't be blinded Hey kids, plug into the faithless maybe there blinded but Bennie can make you seem ageless And music mutations, we shall survive lets bring take ourselves along play for the people under you Where we fight our parents out in the streets to prove whose right and whos wrong
