[length: 03:22]
[00:21.18]I’ve been around and I’ve seen some things
[00:24.53]People moving faster than the speed of sound
[00:27.99]Faster than the speeding bullet
[00:30.05]People livin’ like Superman, all day and all night
[00:34.06]And I won’t say if it’s wrong or I won’t say if it’s right
[00:38.81]I’m pretty fast myself
[00:41.48]But I do have some advice to pass along
[00:44.27]Right here in the words of this song
[00:48.39]You better not look down
[00:50.31]If you want to keep on flyin’
[00:52.90]Put the hammer down
[00:54.92]Keep it full speed ahead
[00:56.59]You better not look back
[00:57.86]Or you might just wind up cryin’
[00:59.92]You can keep it movin’
[01:02.33]If you don’t look down
[01:09.45]An old girl friend of mine
[01:17.80]Showed up the other day
[01:19.91]That girl had lived in love and for love
[01:22.64]And over love and under love all of her life
[01:25.50]If the arrows from Cupid’s bow
[01:28.34]That had passed through her heart
[01:31.92]Had been sticking out of her body
[01:34.47]She would have looked like a porcupine
[01:38.21]And she asked me
[01:40.43]”B B do you think I’ve lived my life all wrong?
[01:41.92]And I said, “The only advice I have to pass along
[01:45.33]Is concealed in the chorus of this song”
[01:47.21]Girl better not look down
[01:48.74]If you want to keep on flyin’
[01:51.58]Put the hammer down
[01:52.60]Keep it full speed ahead
[01:54.78]Better not look back
[01:56.28]Or you might just wind up cryin’
[01:58.15]You can keep it movin’
[02:00.74]If you don’t look down
[02:03.49]I was walkin’ down the street
[02:04.84]At sunrise one mornin’ in London, England
[02:07.51]And there was a very large Rolls Royce limousine
[02:11.79]Pullin’ slowly along the street
[02:13.96]And in that Rolls Royce was the Queen of England
[02:17.22]Looking tired, just got back from a party
[02:19.62]And the Queen leaned out and she said
[02:21.74]”Aren’t you B B King?
[02:23.88]She said, “Oh B B, sometimes its so hard
[02:25.74]To pull things together
[02:27.88]Could you tell me what you think I ought to do?”
[02:30.04]And I said
[02:31.75]You better not look down
[02:33.79]If you want to keep on flyin’
[02:35.99]Put the hammer down
[02:37.45]Keep it full speed ahead
[02:41.14]Better not look back
[02:42.62]Or you might just wind up cryin’
[02:45.73]You can keep it movin’
[02:47.66]If you don’t look down
[02:50.45]You better not look down
[02:52.45]If you want to keep on flyin’
[02:54.60]Put the hammer down
[02:56.76]Keep it full speed ahead
[02:59.60]Better not look back
[03:01.69]Or you might just wind up cryin’
[03:04.06]You can keep it movin’
[03:06.18]If you don’t look down
[03:07.77]You better not look down
[03:09.42]If you want to keep on flyin’
