KING CREOLE

ELVIS PRESLEY

Lyrics and music:Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller

Key:

There's a m an in New Orleans who plays Rock and Roll.

He's a g uitar man with a great big soul.

He l ays down a beat like a ton of coal. He g oes by the name of King Creole.

You know he's g one gone gone jumpin' like a catfish on a p ole

you know he's g one gone gone h ipshaking King Creo le.

When the k ing starts to do it it's as good as done.

He h olds his guitar like a tommy gun.

He s tarts to growl from 'way down in his throat.

He b ends a string and "that's all she wrote".

You know he's g one gone gone jumpin' like a catfish on a p ole

you know he's g one gone gone h ipshaking King Creo le.

Well he s ings a song about a crawdad hole. He s ings a song about a jelly roll.

He s ings a song about meat and greens. He w ails some blues about New Orleans.

You know he's g one gone gone jumpin' like a catfish on a p ole

you know he's g one gone gone h ipshaking King Creo le.

Well he p lays something evil then he plays something sweet.

No m atter what he plays you got to get up on your feet.

When heg ets the rockin' fever baby heaven sakes

he d on't stop playin' 'till the guitar breaks.

You know he's g one gone gone jumpin' like a catfish on a p ole

you know he's g one gone gone h ipshaking King Creo le.
