King Creole Lyrics - 2nd To None - Elvis Presley

King Creole, go 

There's a man in New Orleans who plays rock and roll 

He's a guitar man with a great big soul 

And 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 

And 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 his throat 

He bends a string and that's all she wrote

You know he's gone, gone, gone 

Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole 

You know he's gone, gone, gone 

And 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 

He sings some blues about New Orleans 

You know he's gone, gone, gone 

Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah 

You know he's gone, gone, gone 

And hip shaking King Creole 

He plays something evil then he plays something sweet 

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

And when he gets the rockin' fever baby, 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 

And hip shaking King Creole 

You know he's gone, gone, gone 

Hip shaking King Creole
