Lyrics of a song Graham Parker - OBSESSED WITH ARETHA

Intro: Hey ay ay ay etc

       Em   D   C   Am twice

 

(Am)       Em                  D       C                 Am    

You get a lot of girl singers      obsessed with Aretha

(Am)       Em                    D    C                       Am     

You get a lot of little swingers    wishin' they could be her

Em                          D

Some of those sisters can rock and roll

C                          Am

All God's children gotta little bit of soul

         Em       D             C       Am

But not that much no no no not that much

 

You get a lot of fat Christians you want to throw to the lions

Put em in a barrel, roll em off the top of Mount Zion

Ignorant acceptance is their only aim

With Jesus your life'll be better they claim

But not that much no no no not that much

 

Instrumental verse

           D                               C           

Yeah but when you hear Aretha  singing on some adver   tise ment

           D                                   C        

Or with a big fussy band on some rock'n'roll museum concert

Em                                  D

She's still got the lungs and the dress and the stole

C                       Am

You might even say the girl's still got soul

         Em       D             C       Am

But not that much no no no not that much

 

You get a lot of little monkeys swingin' from the treetops

You get a lot of little flunkeys singin' on Top of the Pops

Some of them appear in the gutter press Tellin' you their lives are a mess

But not that much no no no not that much

 

You get a lot of little stringers pullin' out their penknives

Cuttin' up history     Jugglin' with lives

Bein' a reporter is a glamorous trade

You don't even have to tell the truth to get paid

Well not that much no no no not that much

 

Yeah but when you hear Aretha singing on some adver   tise ment

Or with a big fussy band on some hall of fame concert

She's still got the lungs and the dress and the mink stole

You might even say the girl's still got soul

 But not that much no no no not that much
