[Verse 1]
Well, she's very wealthy, it's true
So in that, she is one up on you
She's dressed all in red, white and blue
And she always knows more than you do

[Chorus]
She's so affected
Cool, calm, collected

[Verse 2]
She knows who to smile to today
She has just been brought up in that way
She knows all the right games to play
And she always just knows what to say

[Chorus]
She's well-respected
Cool, calm, collected

[Kazoo solo]

[Chorus]
She's so affected
Cool, calm, collected

[Verse 3]
In public, the strain's hard to bear
She exudes such a confident air
But behind, she is not without care
But she sweeps it right under her hair

[Chorus]
She's well-respected
Cool, calm, collected

[Verse 4]
She seems to glow brilliantly white
And her hair seems to shine in the night
With her feet unbelievably light
And her teeth ready, sharpened to bite

[Chorus]
She's so respected
Cool, calm, collected

[Instrumental Outro]

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
