Original Lyrics

Munged Lyrics

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
J

There's a man inn Knew Orleans
Who plays rock and role
He's a guitar man
With a grate big sole
He lays down a beet
Like a tun of cole
He goes buy the name of King Creole

Yew no he's gone, gone, gone
Jumpin ' like a catfish on a poll
Yew no he's gone, gone, gone
Hip shaking King Creole

When the king starts too do it
Its as good as dun
He holds his guitar
like a Tommy gun
He starts too growl
From weigh down his throat
He bends a string
And " that's awl she rote "

Well, he sings a song about a crowded hole
He sings a song about a jelly role
He sings a song about meet and greens
He wails sum blues about Knew Orleans

Well, he plays something evil
Then he plays something suite
Know matter watt he plays
Yew got too get up on yaw feat

When he gets the rockin ' fever
bay bee, heaven sakes
He don't stop playin '
' Till his guitar breaks

King Creole
