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
|
You know he's gone, gone, gone
|
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole
|
You know he's gone, gone, gone
|
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 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
|
Hip shaking King Creole
|
Well, he sings a song
|
about a crowded hole
|
He sings a song
|
about a jelly roll
|
He sings a song
|
about pork and greens
|
He sings some blues
|
'bout New Orleans
|
You know he's gone, gone, gone
|
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole
|
You know he's gone, gone, gone
|
Hip shaking King Creole
|
<Interlude>
|
Well, he plays something evil
|
Then he plays something sweet
|
No matter how he plays
|
You got to get up on your feet
|
When he gets the rockin' fever
|
heaven sakes
|
He don't stop playin'
|
'Till his guitar breaks
|
You know he's gone, gone, gone
|
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole
|
You know he's gone, gone, gone
|
Hip shaking King Creole
|
e the time and get it right
