King of the Jive Songtext
von Showaddywaddy

Okay everybody
This is the Duke speaking and I want you to all watch me
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, I′m going dancing 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 (he's the king of the jive)

Put your left foot back swing your baby round
You 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 (he′s 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 (he's the king of the jive)

Yeah, the 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

Aw, the kids are rocking through the night (okay kids)
The jukebox shaking what a sight (are watching me)
When I get there I′ll set the place alight (I′m the Duke)
'Cause I′m the king of the jive (I'm going to teach you how to jive!)

Yeah, the kids are rocking through the night (kids)
The jukebox shaking what a sight (do you wanna learn to jive, kids)
