Lyrics:
Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) [Version (a)]:
Lookin' at the devil grinnin' at his gun
Fingers start shakin', I begin to run
Bullets start chasin', I begin to stop
We begin to wrestle, I was on the top
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
Dance to the music all night long
Everyday people sing a happy song
Mama's so happy, Mama starts to cry
Papa's still singin', you can make if you try
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
You can make it if you try
You can make it if you try
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
Lookin' at the devil grinnin' at his gun
Fingers start shakin', I begin to run
Bullets start chasin', I begin to stop
We begin to wrestle, I was on the top
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
Dance to the music all night long
Everyday people sing a happy song
Mama's so happy, Mama starts to cry
Papa's still singin', you can make if you try
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
You can make it if you try
You can make it if you try
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
The Song:
"Thank You" is a song originally by Sly and the Family Stone, a funk classic if ever there was one.
Beck performed it live for the first time in September 2013. He was with a soul/gospel choir, and he pretty much lets them sing lead on it. Eventually he jumps in and does the "I Want To Take You Higher" jam, which he's been doing in songs for years, and is also based on a Sly Stone song.
