Recorded by Elvis Presley
Written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller
G
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
He lays down a beat like a ton of coal
G7
He goes by the name of King Creole
C
You know he's gone gone gone
G
Jumping like a catfish on a pole yeah
D7
You know he's gone gone gone
C G
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 way down in his throat
G7
He bends the string and that's all she wrote
Repeat #2
He sings a song about a crowded hole
He sings a song about a jelly roll
He sings a song about pork and greens
G7
He sings some blues bout New Orleans
Repeat #2
He plays something evil and he plays something sweet
No matter how he plays you got to get up on your feet
When he gets a rocking fever baby heaven sakes
G7
He don't stop playing till his guitar breaks
Repeat #2
D7 C G
You know he's gone gone gone hip shaking King Creole
