Prefab Sprout – The King of Rock ‘N’ Roll – 1988

    Paroles

    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
