Thomas Dolby
The King of Rock ‘N’ Roll
[Intro]
La la 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 1]
All my lazy teenage boasts are now high precision ghosts
And they're coming 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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Up from suede shoes to my baby blues
Hot dog!
[Chorus]
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
[Verse 2]
The 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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
New broom, this room, sweep it clean, baby
Hot dog!
[Chorus]
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
("Sing that boy")
[Post-Chrous]
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 3]
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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Up from, suede shoes to my baby blues
Hot dog!
[Chorus]
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
("Are ya lonesome?")
[Post-Chrous]
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
(Hot dog!)
[Chorus]
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
("Sing that boy")
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque (La la la la la la la la la la la la la)
(The king of rock'n'roll)
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque (La la la la la la la la la la la la la)
(Yeah!)
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque (La la la la la la la la la la la la la)
(Albuquerque!) (The king of rock'n'roll)
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque (La la la la la la la la la la la la la)
