About

In an interview in 1981 on WNYU, Idol stated:

Well, it could be about Johnny [Rotten] […] but it’s supposed to be about John Lennon and Elvis. It’s just for fun, really. We wanted to write a rockabilly song, really, but it kind of got changed somewhere.

King Rocker Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Jailhouse Rocker roots
Training down in Memphis
Liverpool Johnny rocks out
Round Paul's place
Seconds away as the rhythm comes down
Well, king faces king in the ring for the crown

[Chorus]
King rocker
King rocker
(Rock, rock, rock)
King Kong
King Kong

[Verse 2]
Elvis from the body shakes from the hipbone
Quarry St. kids in leather take Hamburg
Creole was sharp but his guitar was acoustic
Go Johnny go use your electric
Crazy man, crazy

[Chorus]
King rocker
King rocker
(Rock, rock, rock)
King Kong
King Kong

King rocker
King rocker
(Rock, rock, rock)
King Kong
King Kong

[Bridge]
(Round three)
Ali buzzin' like a bee
Elvis in the corner and you won't catch me
(Round four)
One more now, Johnny's lookin' poor
Gotta find a hit, gotta even up the score
(Round five)
Some jive, Elvis took a dive
Waitin' for the towel
More dead than alive
(Round six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen)

[Verse 3]
Ref stops the fight
With the men on forty-two
For a rematch in heaven
If they ever come through
We'll see this fight right through 'til the last round
Well, follow the man
Who's puttin' out the boss sound

[Chorus]
King rocker
King rocker
(Rock, rock, rock)
King Kong
King Kong
King Kong
King Kong

King rocker
King rocker
(Rock, rock, rock)
King Kong
King Kong
King Kong
King Kong
