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 [my] suede shoes
My baby blues (Hot dog)
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque 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, Albuquerque
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque 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 Up from [my] suede shoes
My baby blues (Hot dog)
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque 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, Albuquerque
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque

| Songlog | So they say Prefab is a lot like Death Cab? I suppose I can see that :) Hey, just as long as it’s not as bad a gank as those performed by P Diddy. That musical wasteland. |
