'The King of Rock 'N' Roll' - Prefab Sprout
(P. McAloon)
on album _From Langley Park To Memphis_ - Epic, 1988

La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la

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

Hot dog
Jumping frog
Alberquerque
Hot dog
Jumping frog
Alberquerque

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

Hot dog
Jumping frog
Alberquerque
Hot dog
Jumping frog
Alberquerque

Say it boy
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

And I'm
Up from
Suede shoes
To my baby blues
Hot dog

Hot dog
Jumping frog
Alberquerque
Hot dog
Jumping frog
Alberquerque

By your lonesome
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
Alberquerque
Hot dog
Jumping frog
Alberquerque
Say it boy
(La la la la la la la la la la la la)
Hot dog
Jumping frog
Alberquerque
The king of rock 'n' roll
(La la la la la la la la la la la la)
Hot dog
Jumping frog
Alberquerque
Yeah
(La la la la la la la la la la la la)
Hot dog
Jumping frog
Alberquerque
The king of rock 'n' roll
(La la la la la la la la la la la la)
Hot dog
Jumping frog
Alberquerque

Oops. Let's count how many times I typed 'Albuquerque' wrong (and with a lyric
sleeve too)!

101 Things I Hate:

make it be over)

101 Things I Hate About 'Friends':
# 1. It's named 'Friends' (Hello, could we ... have any more unimaginative a
title? Why don't you just name it 'Show' and be done with it?)

Bit of trivia - Hot Dog, Jumping Frog and Albuquerque are/were all rides in
the Spanish City at Whitley Bay, the same place Dire Straits sang about.

More trivia. The video had lots of french fries in it. Dunno, you explain it.
