  • Jivin' Sister Fanny, told her man from
    Philadelphia, PA, uh, huh, huh, huh
    He tore down the station said she didn't
    Like the way we played, uh, huh, huh, huh

    If you got a favorite guy, get you babe, real no why
    Man from you down inside, got it feathered by the while
    Ooh, child, you got me walkin' down the
    Broad highway, uh, huh, huh, huh

    Now, Jivin' Sister Fanny got
    The brain of a dinosaur, uh, huh, huh, huh
    Well, she hocked my fancy mother
    And she hocked my electric guitar

    Then she's waitin' in the store
    Tell her to wait, 'er, waitin' for glad she's on the waiting good
    By Charles oh watch 'er, you wait good
    Ooh, child, you got me walkin' down the broad highway

  • Michael Robert Hoffman from Los AngelesWe can also discern that Jiving Sister Fanny has Mick Jagger walking down a broad highway and she hocked his fancy mother and his electric guitar. It's a rollicking blues classic and I love it! I always crank this one up to 11!
  • AnciauxMick Taylor's solo is phenomenal.
  • Shane from DcJust awful. One of the worst they ever did.
  • Charlie from Boston, MaMy girlfriend bought me this when we were in high school. It had an "import" label on it. It quickly became one of my favorite Stones albums.
  • Mb California 3rd G from Los Angeles CaI agree with JohnnyZhivago the lyrics are not correct all the way through..
  • Johnnyzhivago from Holmby Hills, CaGreat song but the lyrics here seem more like misheard lyrics, translated into Russian, then into Bulgarian, then back into English. This song is about Mick's jivin' sister, whose name was Fanny.
  • Craig from Melbourne, AustraliaOne of the coolest songs they have ever done, and one hard core fans wish they would do live. Izzy Straddlin from the original Guns N Roses has performed this live with his band.
  • Mecc from Alberta, CanadaGreat song.. uhuh uhuh! :)
