(local king)
and they all came to see the local king
he can dance and he can sing
he plays the drums, he plays the bass
he's an ace - in a hole in the wall
on any night, the same ol' joint's
got his name in lights
he can do anything
cause he's the local king
well, people come from miles around to belly up to the bar
'cause the man on stage is the current rage and they think that he is a star
well there's a fat girl dancin' with a business man
a cowboy dancin' with another fan
of the local king tonight
every town has one
every town needs one
'cause everybody wants one now
and they all came to see the local king
he can dance and he can sing
he plays the drums, he plays the bass
he's an ace - in a hole in the wall
on any night, the same ol' joint's
got his name in lights
he can do anything
cause he's the local king
well, the nightclub's been his alibi for twenty some odd years
'cause the king will sing about anything the audience wants to hear
he'll do a tune by Johnny Mann, Elvis, Hank, Steely Dan
Chubby Checker, Earnest Tubb, Jerry Lee, Flatt & Scruggs
BB King, the Rollin' Stones, ol Chuck Berry, and George Jones
Johnny Cash, Earth Wind & Fire, John Paul George and Ringo Starr
Crosby Stills Nash & Young, there ain't a song that can't be sung
by the local king tonight
every town has one
every town needs one
'cause everybody wants one now
and they all came to see the local king
he cant dance and he cant sing
he plays the drums, he plays the bass
he's an ace - in a hole in the wall
on any night, the same ol' joint's
got his name in lights
he can do anything
he's the local king
(GUITAR SOLO)
here's Betty
