King Creole
Well 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
Bobbin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Well a hip-shaking King Creole
He plays something evil
Then he plays something sweet
No matter what he plays
You got to get up on your feet
When he gets the rockin' fever
Heaven sakes
He don't stop playin'
'Til the guitar breaks
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Bobbin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Well a hip-shaking King Creole
He goes by the name of King Creole
Gone, gone, gone
Bobbin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Well a hip-shaking King Creole
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Hip-shaking King Creole
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
Bobbin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Well a hip-shaking King Creole
He plays something evil
Then he plays something sweet
No matter what he plays
You got to get up on your feet
When he gets the rockin' fever
Heaven sakes
He don't stop playin'
'Til the guitar breaks
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Bobbin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Well a hip-shaking King Creole
He goes by the name of King Creole
Gone, gone, gone
Bobbin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Well a hip-shaking King Creole
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Hip-shaking King Creole
