Carl Perkins Wears The Crown

Now they say that Elvis is the king of rock and roll
 And James Brown is the godfather of soul
 And Bob Wills is the king of Texas swing
 You talk about Chicago blues, Muddy Waters wears the ring
 But when it comes to that Rockabilly sound
 Carl Perkins wears the crown
 They say that old Hank done it his way
 And nobody sang them blues like Billy Holiday
 You know they say that Jimi, well he could kiss the sky
 Still no ones got the fire like Buddy Guy
 But when it comes to that Rockabilly sound
 Carl Perkins wears the crown
 Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash and George Jones
 Roy Orbison, Woody Guthrie, The Beatles and The Stones
 Garcia, Jerry Lee and Professor Longhair
 You look at the top of the greatest ever list and they'll all be there
 But when it comes to that Rockabilly sound
 Carl Perkins wears the crown
 Carl Perkins wears the crown
 Carl Perkins wears the crown
 I'm just sitting here wondering
 Would a matchbox hold my clothes?
 Put Your Cat Clothes On
 Let's go Bopping the Blues
 You wear your Pink Pedal Pushers
 I'll wear my Blue Suede Shoes
 And we'll get gone, gone, gone
 gone, gone, gone
 Carl Perkins wears the crown
 Carl Perkins wears the crown
