LYRICS: Don’t you worry Don’t be blue Let your woman Take care of you Live your life By the golden rule Pay no mind To the pompous fool Do you wanna dance Do you wanna sing Do you still believe That Jerry Lee was king? Is it your opinion That Charlie Wilson’s cool Pay no mind To the pompous fool In life you know May I say to you Be careful who you follow There may be no more tomorrow If you follow the pompous fool So don’t you worry Don’t be blue Let your woman Take care of you Do your thing By the golden rule Pay no mind To the pompous fool In life you know May I say to you Be careful who you follow There ain’t nobody home Fear knocking on the door In the mind of the pompous fool Do you wanna laugh Do you wanna cry Do you still believe In you and I Is it your opinion That we should start again And turn the volume Down from number 10 Don’t you worry Don’t be blue Let your woman Take care of you Live your life By the golden rule Pay no mind To the pompous fool
