King Creole

[Intro]
King Creole, go!

[Verse 1]
There's a man in New Orleans who plays rock and roll
He's a guitar man with a great big soul
He lays down a beat like a ton of coal
He goes by the name of King Creole

[Chorus]
You know he's gone, gone, gone (ahh, King Creole)
Jumping like a catfish on a pole (ahh, King Creole)
You know he's gone, gone, gone
(Hey! King Creole, Hey! King Creole)
Hip-shaking King Creole (King Creole, King Creolе)

[Verse 2]
When the king starts to do it, it's as good as done
Hе 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

[Chorus]
You know he's gone, gone, gone (ahh, King Creole)
Jumping like a catfish on a pole (ahh, King Creole)
You know he's gone, gone, gone
(Hey! King Creole, Hey! King Creole)
Hip-shaking King Creole (King Creole, King Creole)

[Verse 3]
Well, he sings a song about a crawdad hole
He sings a song about a jelly roll
He sings a song about a-pork and greens
He sings some blues about New Orleans

[Chorus]
You know he's gone, gone, gone (ahh, King Creole)
Jumping like a catfish on a pole (ahh, King Creole)
You know he's gone, gone, gone
(Hey! King Creole, Hey! King Creole)
Hip-shaking King Creole (King Creole, King Creole)

[Verse 4]
He plays something evil, then he plays something sweet
No matter how he plays, you gotta get up on your feet
When he gets a rocking fever, baby, heaven sakes
He don't stop playing till his guitar breaks

[Chorus]
You know he's gone, gone, gone (ahh, King Creole)
Jumping like a catfish on a pole (ahh, King Creole)
You know he's gone, gone, gone
(Hey! King Creole, Hey! King Creole)
Hip-shaking King Creole (King Creole, King Creole)

[Outro]
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Hip-shaking King Creole (Creole, Creole, Creole)
