king of the jive

okay everybody

this is the duke speaking

i'm going to show you how to jive now

'cause i'm the king of the jive

been working all day trying to earn some money

'cause it's friday night

going to dance with buddy

hair greased back got my tight pants on

going down town dance all night long

kids are rocking through the night

the jukebox shaking what a sight

when i get there i'll set the place alight

'cause i'm the king of the jive

put your left foot back swing your baby round

loop the loop what a crazy sound

getting hot so you loosen your tie

you can't stop now 'cause you're the king of the jive

kids are rocking through the night

the jukebox shaking what a sight

when i get there i'll set the place alight

'cause i'm the king of the jive

sweating now just a little bit

swing your baby round for a double twist

can't stop now too much to lose

you dance all night in your blue suede shoes

kids are rocking through the night

the jukebox shaking what a sight

when i get there i'll set the place alight

'cause i'm the king of the jive

okay kids

are watching me

i'm the duke - i'm going to teach you how to jive
