Live each day, as if it we're your last. It's written in the stars, your destiny is cast.

That's why I hate to get started in these jam sessions. I'm always the last one to leave.

A lot of people seem to think I started this business. But rock 'n' roll was here a long time before I came along. Nobody can sing that kind of music like colored people. Let's face it: I can't sing like Fats Domino can. I know that.

Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done.
