There's a man in New Orleans who plays rock and roll |
|
He's a guitar man with a great big soul |
|
And he lays down a beat like a ton of coal |
|
He goes by the name of King Creole |
|
You know he's gone, gone, gone |
|
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah |
|
You know he's gone, gone, gone |
|
And hip shaking King Creole |
|
When the King starts to do it it's as good as done |
|
He holds his guitar like a tommy gun |
|
He starts to growl from way down in his throat |
|
He bends a string and that's all she wrote |
|
You know he's gone, gone, gone |
|
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole |
|
You know he's gone, gone, gone |
|
And hip shaking King Creole |
|
He sings a song about a crawdad hole |
|
He sings a song about a jelly roll |
|
He sings a song about pork and greens |
|
He sings some blues about New Orleans |
|
You know he's gone, gone, gone |
|
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah |
|
You know he's gone, gone, gone |
|
And hip shaking King Creole |
|
He plays something evil then he plays something sweet |
|
No matter how he plays you got to get up on your feet |
|
And when he gets the rockin' fever baby, heaven sakes |
|
He don't stop playin' 'til his guitar breaks |
|
You know he's gone, gone, gone |
|
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah |
|
You know he's gone, gone, gone |
|
And hip shaking King Creole |
|
You know he's gone, gone, gone |
|
Hip shaking King Creole |
