Lyrics

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 suede shoes to my baby blues Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque 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, 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, suede shoes, my baby blues 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, yeah Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
