There's a man in New Orleans
Who plays rock and roll
He's a violão, guitarra man
With a great big soul
He lays down a beat
Like a ton of coal
He goes por 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"
Well, he sings a song about a crawdad hole
He sings a song about a geléia, geleia roll
He sings a song about pork and greens
He wails some blues about New Orleans
Well, he plays something evil
Then he plays something sweet
No matter how 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 violão, guitarra breaks

Her hair is soft and her eyes are, oh, so blue
She's all the things a girl should be,
But she's not you.
She knows just how to make me laugh when I feel blue
She's everything a man could want,
But she's not you.
And when we're dancing
It almost feels the same
I've got to stop myself from
Whisp'ring your name
She even kisses me like you used to do.
And it's just breaking my heart
'cause she's not you.
And it's just breaking my heart
'cause she's not you.
And when we're dancing
It almost feels the same
I've got to stop myself from
Whisp'ring your name
She even kisses me like you used to do.
And it's just breaking my heart
'cause she's not you.
And it's just breaking my heart
'cause she's not you.
She's all the things a girl should be,
But she's not you.
She knows just how to make me laugh when I feel blue
She's everything a man could want,
But she's not you.
And when we're dancing
It almost feels the same
I've got to stop myself from
Whisp'ring your name
She even kisses me like you used to do.
And it's just breaking my heart
'cause she's not you.
And it's just breaking my heart
'cause she's not you.
And when we're dancing

I've got to stop myself from
Whisp'ring your name

And it's just breaking my heart
'cause she's not you.
And it's just breaking my heart
'cause she's not you.
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in amor with you
Shall I stay would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in amor with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes some things are meant to be
Take my hand take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in amor with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes some things are meant to be
Take my hand take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in amor with you
For I can't help falling in amor with you
But I can't help falling in amor with you
Shall I stay would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in amor with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes some things are meant to be
Take my hand take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in amor with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes some things are meant to be
Take my hand take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in amor with you
For I can't help falling in amor with you
