Little Richard
And I think a woman should find it a joy to be female because God made both male and female.
Little Richard
It's not the size of the ship it's the size of the waves.
Little Richard
We're gonna have some fun tonight.
Little Richard
And I'd like to give my love to everybody, and let them know that the grass may look greener on the other side, but believe me, it's just as hard to cut.
Little Richard
I thank God for making me a man.
Little Richard
I don't give the devil credit for creating nothing.

Little Richard
