Prefab Sprout

The King of Rock 'n' Roll

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

Up from suede shoes to my baby blues

Hot dog, jumping frog, albuquerque

Hot dog, jumping frog, albuquerque

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

- new broom, this room, sweep it clean

Hot dog, jumping frog, albuquerque

Hot dog, jumping frog, albuquerque

High kickin' dandy, fine figure fine cut a fine figure fine oh yeah

Long legged candy, fine figure fine cut a fine figure fine oh yeah

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

- up from, suede shoes to my baby blues

Hot dog, jumping frog, albuquerque

Hot dog, jumping frog, albuquerque

High kickin' dandy, fine figure fine cut a fine figure fine oh yeah

Long legged candy, fine figure fine cut a fine figure fine oh yeah

Hot dog, jumping frog, albuquerque

Hot dog, jumping frog, albuquerque
