======================================

Well, there's a man in New Orleans
who plays the Rock and Roll
And he's a guitar man
with such 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
Jumping like catfish on a pole
You know he's gone, gone, gone
and a 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
Then he starts to growl
from way down his throat
He bends like a string
and that's all she wrote

You know he's gone, gone, gone
Jumping like catfish on a pole
You know he's gone, gone, gone and
he's hip a shaking King Creole

Well, he sings a song
about a crowded hole
and he sings a song
about a jelly roll
Then he sings a song
about the meat and greens
He wails some blues about New Orleans

You know he's gone, gone, gone
a jumping like a catfish on a pole
You know he's gone, gone, gone and
he's hip a 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
Yes, when he gets the rocking fever
Baby, heaven sakes
He don't stop playing
till his guitar breaks

You know he's gone, gone, gone
a jumping like a catfish on a pole
You know he's gone, gone, gone and
he's hip a shaking King Creole

You know he's gone, gone, gone
Hip shaking King Creole
