Rockin’ with the King Lyrics

Well, he's the king of rock 'n' roll
The sacrament will tell you so
Well, he's the king of rock 'n' roll
The sacrament will tell you so
(Yeah, I'm the king, king of rock 'n' roll)
(You know I am, ow, ow)

Well, he started rockin' way back when
And he had 'em rollin' in the aisle
He started rollin' way back when
Well, had 'em rockin' in the aisle
He's the king, he's the king
He's king of rock 'n' roll (Ow)

C'mon, Richard

(Ow, ow)
Ah, get it, king
(Whoa, ow, ow)
A little higher

Well, they call him the innovator
He ain't no imitator
They call him the innovator
Well, he ain't no imitator (Whoa)
(Hey, I'm the king, the king of rock 'n' roll)
(Awo, ow)

Boogie woogie boogie all night long
Boogie woogie boogie all night long
He's the king
Whoa, play it, king
Yes, he's the king, he's the king
The king of rock 'n' roll
(Wow)

(Ow, ow)
Aw, rock it, rock, rock it
Do it, do it, do it
(There's Fito with the heat-o, Canned Heat out)
(With the king)
(Little Richard)
(Shut up)

One more time (Woo)

We're goin' home
We're goin' home
We're goin' home, yeah
We're goin' of home (Whoa-hoo hoo-hoo-hoo)
He's the king, he's the king
The king of rock 'n' roll (Whoa)
(Whoa-whoa, hoo, hoo-hoo)
(Whoa-whoa, hoo, hoo-hoo)
(Whoa-whoa, hoo, hoo-hoo)
(Whoa-whoa, hoo, hoo-hoo)

He's the king, he's the king (Whoa-hoo, whoa-hoo)
(Whoa-hoo) The king of rock 'n' roll (Whoa-hoo)

(Ow)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
