King Creole

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 the King Creole
You know it's gone, gone, gone
Jumping like catfish on a pole
You know it's gone, gone, gone
Hear the shaking of the King Creole
Well, he starts to do it as good as done
And he holds his guitar like a tommy gun
He starts to growl way down in his throat
He goes by the name of the Hot Chief Roll
You know it's gone, gone, gone
Jumping like catfish on a pole
You know it's gone, gone, gone
Hear the shaking of the King Creole
He sings a song about a talking tree
Then he sings a song about a jelly roll
He sings a song about a mean dream
He ain't some blues but he's what you need
You know it's gone, gone, gone
Jumping like catfish on a pole
You know it's gone, gone, gone
Hear the shaking of the King Creole
Well, he plays something evil, plays something sweet
And no matter the place he's got you on your feet
He gets down to rocking, baby, heavens shake
He don't stop to play 'til the guitar breaks
You know it's gone, gone, gone
Jumping like catfish on a pole
You know it's gone, gone, gone
Hear the shaking of the King Creole
You know it's gone, gone, gone
Hear the shaking of the King Creole
You know it's gone, gone, gone
Hear the shaking of the King Creole
You know it's gone, gone, gone
Hear the shaking of the King Creole
You know it's gone, gone, gone
Hear the shaking of the King Creole
