Lyrics King Rocker (BBC in Concert: Live at Paris Theatre, 1 January 1981) - Generation X

Jailhouse Rocker roots
Training down in Memphis
Liverpool Johnny rocks out
Round Paul′s place
Seconds away as the rhythm comes down
King faces King in the ring for the crown
King rocker,
King rocker
Rock, rock, rock
King Kong,
King Kong
Elvis from the body shakes from the hipbone
Quarry St. kids in leather take Hamburg
Creole was sharp but his guitar was acoustic
Go Johnny go use your electric
Crazy man crazy
King rocker,
King rocker
Rock, rock, rock
King Kong,
King Kong
King rocker,
King rocker
Rock, rock, rock
King Kong,
King Kong
Round three
Ali buzzin' like a bee,
Elvis in the corner and you won′t catch me
Round four now
Johnny's lookin' poor,
Gotta find a hit
Gotta even up the score
Round five some jive,
Elvis took a dive
Waitin′ for the towel
More dead than alive
Round six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven
Ref stops the fight
With the men on forty two
For a rematch in heaven
If they ever come through
See this fight right thru ′til the last round
Follow the man
Whose puttin' out the boss sound Of
King rocker,
King rocker
Rock, rock, rock
King Kong,
King Kong,
King Kong,
King Kong,
King rocker,
King rocker
Rock, rock, rock
King Kong,
King Kong,
King Kong,
King Kong
