Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
[Verse 2]
All my lazy teenage boasts are now high precision ghosts
And they're comin' round the track to haunt me
When she looks at me and laughs, I remind her of the facts
I'm the king of rock 'n' roll completely
[Verse 3]
Up from suede shoes
My baby blues
(Hot dog) Hot dog, jumpin' frog, Albuquerque
Hot dog, jumpin' frog, Albuquerque
[Verse 4]
Dream helps you forget you ain't never danced a step
You were never fleet of foot, hippy
All the pathos you can keep for the children in the street
For the vision I have had is sweeping
[Verse 5]
New broom, this room
Sweep it clean
(Hot dog) Hot dog, jumpin' frog, Albuquerque
Hot dog, jumpin' frog, Albuquerque
[Verse 6]
Sing out, boy, high kickin' dandy (High kickin' dandy)
Fine figure, fine cut, a fine figure, fine, oh, yeah
Long-legged candy (Long-legged candy)
Fine figure, fine cut, a fine figure, fine, oh, yeah
[Verse 7]
Now my rhythm ain't so hot, but it's the only friend I've got
I'm the king of rock 'n' roll completely
All the pretty birds have flown, now I'm dancing on my own
I'm the king of rock 'n' roll completely
[Verse 8]
Up from suede shoes
My baby blues
(Hot dog) Hot dog, jumpin' frog, Albuquerque
Hot dog, jumpin' frog, Albuquerque
Yeah, you're lonesome
[Verse 9]
High kickin' dandy (High kickin' dandy)
Fine figure, fine cut, a fine figure, fine, oh, yeah
Long-legged candy (Long-legged candy)
Fine figure, fine cut, a fine figure, fine, oh, yeah, yeah
[Verse 10]
Hot dog, jumpin' frog, Albuquerque
Hot dog, jumpin' frog, Albuquerque
I said, boy
Hot dog, jumpin' frog, Albuquerque
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
The king of rock 'n' roll
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Hot dog, jumpin' frog, Albuquerque
Yeah
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Hot dog, jumpin' frog, Albuquerque (Albuquerque)
The king of rock 'n' roll
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Hot dog, jumpin' frog, Albuquerque
