Lyrics & Translation
English
King Creole
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
He goes by the name of King Creole
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole
You know he's gone, gone, gone
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
From way down his throat
He bends a string
And "that's all she wrote"
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Hip shaking King Creole
Well, he sings a song about a crawdad hole
He sings a song about a jelly roll
He sings a song about pork and greens
He sings some blues about New Orleans
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Hip shaking King Creole
Well, he plays something evil
Then he plays something sweet
No matter what he plays
You got to get up on your feet
When he gets the rockin' fever
Baby, heaven sakes
He don't stop playin'
'Till his guitar breaks
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Hip shaking King Creole

Rey Criollo
Hay un hombre en Nueva Orleans
Que toca rock and roll
Es un hombre de guitarra
Con un alma muy grande
Pone un ritmo
Como una tonelada de carbón
Se le conoce como Rey Criollo
Sabes que se fue, se fue, se fue
Saltando como un bagre en una caña
Sabes que se fue, se fue, se fue
Rey Criollo que mueve las caderas
Cuando el rey empieza a hacerlo
Ya está hecho
Sostiene su guitarra
Como una metralleta
Empieza a gruñir
Desde el fondo de su garganta
Dobla una cuerda
Y "eso es todo"
Sabes que se fue, se fue, se fue
Saltando como un bagre en una caña
Sabes que se fue, se fue, se fue
Rey Criollo que mueve las caderas
Bueno, canta una canción sobre un agujero de cangrejo
Canta una canción sobre un rollo de jalea
Canta una canción sobre cerdo y verduras
Canta algo de blues sobre Nueva Orleans
Sabes que se fue, se fue, se fue
Saltando como un bagre en una caña
Sabes que se fue, se fue, se fue
Rey Criollo que mueve las caderas
Bueno, toca algo malvado
Luego toca algo dulce
No importa lo que toque
Tienes que levantarte
Cuando le da la fiebre del rock
Cariño, por el amor de Dios
No deja de tocar
Hasta que su guitarra se rompe
Sabes que se fue, se fue, se fue
Saltando como un bagre en una caña
Sabes que se fue, se fue, se fue
Rey Criollo que mueve las caderas
