King Creole (Viva Elvis)

(Now he crowns his meteoric rise to fame with a fiery burst of dramatic power)

(As hard-loving, hard-hitting Danny Fisher)

(Who sang his way up from the gutters of lusty, brawling New Orleans)

(Creole)

(Creole, oh-oh-eeh)

(Creole)

(Mambo)

(Oh, yeah)

(Go)

(Hey, come on)

(There's a man in New Orleans)

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, yeah

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 in his throat

He bends a string and that's all she wrote

She knows he's gone, gone, gone

Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole

You know he's gone, gone, gone

Hip shaking, King Creole

He sings a song about a crowded hole

He sings a song about a jelly roll

He sings a song about pork and greens (Come on)

He sings some blues 'bout New Orleans

You know he's gone, gone, gone

Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah

You know he's gone, gone, gone

Hip shaking, King Creole, go

He bends a string and that's all she wrote

He don't stop playin' 'til his guitar breaks

Go

Come on

(You do let her out of your prison)

(How you put it down, put it down away)

(Jump, jump, jump)

(Jump, jump, jump)

Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole

(Never causing trouble, never said so I'll forget)

Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole

He plays something evil then he plays something sweet

No matter how he plays, you got to get up on your

(Get up on your feet)

Starts a rockin' fever, heaven sakes

He don't stop playin' 'til his guitar breaks

You know he's gone, gone, gone

Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah

You know he's gone, gone, gone

Hip shaking, King Creole, go

(Wait)

(Oh, oh-oh-eeh)

(Mambo)

(Cut, let's clear our throats and try again)

Uh-uh, Mr. Wallace

(Yeah)

The ending was messed up anyway, so I didn't bother to say it

(Ok)

(Creole, woo, creole)

(Here we go)
