  • Jailhouse Rocker roots training down
    In Memphis

    Liverpool Johnny rocks out round Paul's place
    Seconds away as the rhythm comes down
    King faces King in the ring for the crown
    King rocker king rocker, rock rock rock
    King Kong
    King Kong

    Elvis from the body shakes from the hipbone
    Quarry St. kids in leather take Hamburg
    Creole was sharp but his guitar was acoustic
    Go Johnny go use your electric
    Crazy man crazy

    King rocker king rocker, rock rock rock
    King Kong
    King Kong
    King rocker king rocker, rock rock rock
    King Kong

    Round three, Ali buzzin like a bee,
    Elvis in the corner and you won't catch me
    Round four, Johnny lookin' poor,
    Gotta find a hit gotta even up the score
    Round five, some jive, Elvis took a dive
    Waitin' for the towel more dead than alive
    Round six, seven, eight, nine,
    Ref stops the fight with the men on forty two
    For a rematch in heaven
    If they ever come through

    (Gotta) see this fight right through 'til the last round
    Follow the man
    Whose puttin' out the boss sound
    Of king rocker king rocker rock rock rock

    King Kong
    King Kong
    King Kong
    King Kong
    King rocker king rocker rock rock rock
    King Kong
    King Kong
    King Kong
